Beschreibung

Despite women’s marginalisation within Hollywood, in recent years filmmakers including Amy Heckerling, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers, Catherine Hardwicke, Sofia Coppola, Kathryn Bigelow, Kimberly Peirce, and Greta Gerwig have made prominent and commercially successful films in various genres. This book identifies the cultural importance of this shift, in the process reconceptualising both genre theory and women’s cultural production.
