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?!).
As a cisgender male, I grew up with a pretty myopic point of view and was conditioned to look to (white) males onscreen for key pieces of information or heroism.
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.
