Why read it?
1 author picked Feminist Film Studies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend this book to anyone who has ever seen a female character onscreen (does that make all of us?!).

This book helped me appreciate why my perspective was slanted and shaped this way – Karen Hollinger’s work has sensitized me to the idea that there is always more than one perspective to be mindful of when watching a movie.
From Frederick's list on the impact of movies outside the theater.
