Reviews
This is a very important book, not only for film scholarship but for feminist criticism. It should be recommended reading for anyone interested in the configurations of contemporary cinema outside and inside Conglomerate Hollywood. -Pamela Church-Gibson, London College of Fashion With The New Woman's Film, Hilary Radner continues to break crucial new ground in the study of film, feminism, and contemporary culture. Deftly combining textual and industry analysis, Radner charts the rise of a new wave of women's films - and new wave of feminist filmmaking - running against the Conglomerate Hollywood tide. -Thomas Schatz, University of Texas at Austin So much more than an examination of the 'chick flick,' Radner's enthusiasm for this genre is contagious, as she supplies consistently perceptive discussions of mainstream and independent movies, cinema releases and television series. The New Woman's Film makes an essential contribution to cinema studies, not least because Radner takes contemporary film seriously and invites us to look afresh at how film and film studies has engaged over the decades with women as subjects and spectators. -Stella Bruzzi, University of Warwick
