About the Book

In Woman of the Hour, director Anna Kendrick delivers a powerful and thought-provoking adaptation of a chilling true crime story. The film is based on the real-life events surrounding serial killer Rodney Alcala, who, during his violent spree, appeared as a contestant on the popular television show The Dating Game in the late 1970s. While the show presented him as a charming, desirable bachelor, the reality of Alcala's crimes painted a far darker picture.

At its core, Woman of the Hour is more than a crime thriller. It is a deeply reflective examination of how systemic misogyny, media exploitation, and societal apathy intersect in the most dangerous ways. Through the experiences of Cheryl Bradshaw, the bachelorette who narrowly escaped Alcala's grip, the film sheds light on the subtle pressures women face in male-dominated environments. Cheryl's discomfort on the show-where she was expected to perform for both the men on stage and the television audience-echoes a broader societal issue where women's safety and autonomy are often overlooked or dismissed.

The film also critiques the role of the media in sensationalizing crime for entertainment. Alcala's ability to deceive the producers and audience, despite his violent past, serves as a stark reminder of how easily charm can mask danger, and how the pursuit of ratings can override the responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals.

Readers will learn about the complex interplay between gender, power, and media representation. They will explore how institutional misogyny often leaves women vulnerable and how society can inadvertently enable predators. Woman of the Hour not only revisits a disturbing chapter in television history but also challenges viewers to confront the ethical dilemmas surrounding true crime and the ways in which violence is often glamorized for public consumption.
