The idea of you and rejecting women's art story
Reducing the idea of you to fan fiction is another example of rejecting women's art,;
Yes, Anne Hathaway's new film, The Idea of You, is a straight-laced romantic comedy, but it's also important in overturning sexist stereotypes about cougars. When I started writing the novel that would become The Idea of You.
in the spring of 2014 and early 2014, I had no intention of writing anything revolutionary or controversial.
I wanted to write a story about Solene Marchand, a woman approaching 40 years old. Solene Marchand rediscovers and defines herself through an unexpected love affair with a much younger man, a world-famous celebrity.
Being in that age group and just beginning my professional life as an actor, I saw a sudden change in the roles that were being offered to me.
The characters became more relaxed and the choices became more and more distant. I learned the hard way that women over 40 are not very desirable in Hollywood.
The assumption was that we ceased to be sexual beings and therefore became less valuable. I was determined to prove this industry and our culture in general, wrong in my own way.
