  Films designed for a female audience such as Pretty Woman , Legally Blonde , and Confessions of a Shopaholic exploit the conventions of the romance. This title examines how Hollywood has responded to women's changing social roles through an analysis of a flourishing sub-genre 'the Girly Film', associated with the contemporary 'Chick Flick'.
