Product Description


Drawing on newly discovered material, Sue Harper provides a survey of the ways women have been represented in British cinema from the 1930’s to the present day. She also analyzes the impact women have had on the industry and charts the difficulties they encountered and the successes they achieved.
Lively, funny, and often confrontational, Harper criticizes many established opinions about women and the cinema. This book’s broad overview of film history combined with its close analysis of key films will be helpful for undergraduates. General readers will be intrigued by the questions raised about the relationship between gender and creativity and Harper’s fresh look at the issues of sexuality, stardom, and artistic constraints.


Review


"lucidly and forcefully written…capable of insight and erudition…informed, insightful, illuminating and often innovative" --
