Description

An emphatic statement of the strength of contemporary scholarship in women's film history, the collection presents readers with new material and new perspectives.""--Yvonne Tasker, author of Soldiers' Stories: Military Women in Cinema and Television since WWII ""The research here is ambitious and impressive. Covering numerous contexts, including production, distribution, reception, stardom, censorship, and more, this book has international scope and broad appeal. It offers new perspectives from emerging scholars as well as the most recent findings from many of the field's most respected senior voices.""--Christina Lane, author of Feminist Hollywood: From 'Born in Flames' to 'Point Break' ""Doing Women's Film History brings together work from one of the most exciting scholarly gatherings that I have attended in a very long time. The essays collected here document the incredible scope of women's engagement with movie cultures across varied global contexts, time periods, and cinematic modes. More than that, they provide methodological roadmaps for how we might continue to chart feminist histories of cinema, cinema-going, and cinema practice.""--Shelley Stamp, author of Lois Weber in Early Hollywood ""This useful anthology spans continents and centuries, introducing women, events, and innovative feminist historiographical strategies that will spur us on to further discovery and provide us tools to interpret our findings.""--Leslie DeBauche, author of Reel Patriotism: The Movies and World War I
