Reviews
Lisa Stead's methodologically sophisticated and impeccably researched study of women and cinema culture between the wars brings under the spotlight a transformative moment when popular media, modernity, modernism and femininity came together in shaping unprecedented new ways of being a woman. -- Professor Annette Kuhn, Queen Mary University of London In bringing together cinema-going characters with creators of film fictions across an array of genres and media, Stead's project not only demonstrates how gender was navigated through cinema in this transformative period in the United Kingdom but also offers innovative means of interconnecting authorial and fictional identities, lived and imagined experiences, across media without collapsing them. -- Laurel Harris, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature
