Feminism West Of The Pecos
All I knew of Marilyn Durham’s bestseller, “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing,” was that it had been tagged a women’s-lib western. With some qualifications, that pat critique could apply to the film as well. For sure it’s a western: it’s got cowboys and Indians and a posse and a school-marmish lady and it even opens with a train robbery.

CAT DANCING

All I knew of Marilyn Durham’s bestseller, “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing,” was that it had been tagged a women’s-lib western. With some qualifications, that pat critique could apply to the film as well. For sure it’s a western: it’s got cowboys and Indians and a posse and a school-marmish lady and it even opens with a train robbery. The feminist label is a bit tougher to earn.
