Series Editors: Kay Armatage, Jane M. Gaines & Christine Gledhill
A new generation of motion picture historians has discovered that women have been much more influential as spectators, actors, and producers in world film history than previously thought. The series investigates the significance of gender in the cinema century by taking advantage of new print material and moving picture archival discoveries as well as the benefits of digital access and storage. The Women and the Silent Screen conferences held in the Netherlands, United States, Canada, and Mexico indicate an internationalization of research efforts.
