This new single-volume resource offers the most comprehensive coverage of women directors and their films and fills a significant gap in women's studies by featuring essays on directors, producers, writers and production artists. Women Filmmakers presents a total of 250 entries selected to represent a wide variety of styles and nationalities and covering films and filmmakers from the late 19th century to the present. Approximately 30 percent of the entries represent updated essays on the most important artists and films last published in the 3rd edition of the International Directory (1996). The remaining 175 entries are all new, and emphasize women and films just gaining widespread critical attention.

Blue boards with yellow and white lettering. 1326 historical and informative pages! "In a memorandum to contributors, Lina Mainiero, the founding editor of American Women Writers described the project she envisioned in 1978: Written wholly by women critics, this reference work is designed as a four-volume survey of American women writers from colonial days to the present.Most entries will be on women who have written what is traditionally defined as literature. But AWW will also include entries on writers in other fields.I see AWW as a precious opportunity for women ----- those who write it and those who read it ----- to integrate at a more self-conscious level a variety of reading experience. The result was a document of its time, a period when feminism was associated with building sisterhood and raising consciousness." ---- from the Foreword. (4-VOLUME SET). Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ex-Library.
