Description
"A revelatory study. This book not only challenges traditional film history by demanding gender sensitive attention to roles in film production normally ignored, but it changes conceptions of creativity to embrace a more complex understanding of the collaborative processes involved as opposed to the established conception of the director's authorial vision."--Christine Gledhill, co-editor of Doing Women's Film History: Reframing Cinemas, Past and Future
