Review
"A most important work. Its sustained commitment to textual analysis--and the close readings here are superbly written--and to a historical (and national) consideration of female authorship makes it a valuable contribution to feminist film scholarship." -- Film Quarterly
"In this essential study of film and feminism, Flitterman-Lewis uses three major filmmakers to survey ways in which directors have challenged the cinematic assumptions of the patriarchy. Germaine Dulac was concerned with woman's desire, Marie Epstein with defining a female gaze, and Agnes Varda with formulating a feminine discourse.... Excellent." -- Choice
