"Offers a differentiated and comprehensive overview of the current
methodological and theoretical problem areas of film historiography
no film library should be missing."--Rezens
"An innovative, culturally transformative, and historically
complex collection of essays that bring together cinematography,
historiography, and political and social activism: areas that have
traditionally been gendered as male-dominated fields. . . . A
comprehensive and fascinating study."--Feminist Media Studies
"This collection is essential for anyone researching film
history and feminist historiographies."--Women's History Review
"Recommended."--Choice "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
