Abstract

This article demonstrates an exercise in historical placement and historiography utilizing the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast within the social studies classroom. The purpose is to identify the context in which the events of the film are placed using material culture. Once timing is established, the characters are analyzed using the social context of Western feminism both in contemporary and recent terms. This is a practice in identifying changes and continuities for interpreting this film and a continuation of feminist scholarly commentary that can be utilized for advanced high school and undergraduate study.
