AB The present study aims to explore the representation of women in American film noir of theforties. Through the examination of the historical background and the analysis of three noirmovies, this paper looks critically at noir women characters in order to demonstrate thatfilm noir questions issues relevant to women in American society in the forties.                                By analyzing the three noir titles Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Out of the Past, with a focus on their women characters Phyllis, Cora, and Kathie, this study will illustrate the ways in which the female figure embodies issues regarding sexuality and gender roles, such as motherhood, marriage and family. This way, this paper will show that these women challenge the male-dominated society by not following the standard societal roles. Ultimately, this study will consider the implications film noir has for the exploration of relevant matters in the study of women.
