Press Reviews:
At long last, heres an informative volume that pays attention to women as participants in a heavily regulated industry, not just as images on a screen. -- B. Ruby Rich, University of California, Berkeley, author of Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement
I highly recommend Christina Lane's fascinating study of six women directors who have made the transition from 'counter cinema' to mainstream Hollywood while retaining their personal and feminist concerns. -- Molly Haskell, film critic, author From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies
