Expand description
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.
