In
this fascinating book, Britain's most exciting female film scholars get to grips
with issues of gender and identity on the big screen. These essays vary widely
in scope: some offer detailed discussion of one film, some take an individual
star as the focus, and some deal more broadly with over-arching questions of
genre and spectatorship. All, however, deliver an exhilarating combination of
informed scholarship and specific moments in which the interaction between image
and audience is explored. 'It packs a lot of punch with its short pithy essays'
Sight and Sound
' A standard text for courses on film and masculinity.'
