. 7. Censorship and Moral Codes: The Motion Picture Production Code, enforced from 1934 to 1968, imposed strict moral guidelines on filmmakers. This code restricted the portrayal of women's ...., LGBTQ+ characters, and controversial topics, further limiting the roles and narratives available to women. It is important to note that these limitations were prevalent in the context of the time period and societal norms. Over the years, progress has been made in addressing these issues, although further strides are still required for achieving full gender equality in the film industry.
