For the last quarter of a century cinema has given expression to feminist debates about culture, represenation and identity. This anthology charts the history of those debates, bringing together significant essays in feminist film theory. The book examines the impact of theoretical developments on this growing field and covers a wide range of topics, including oppressive images, "woman" as "fetishized" object of desire, female spectatorship, and the cinematic pleasures of black women and lesbians.
Sue Thornham is Professor and Head of Media and Communication Studies at the University of Sunderland.
