Reviews
“Women Screenwriters: An International Guide offers a landmark contribution to the critical appraisal of an emerging field in the scholarship of screenwriting. … the volume launches an extensive coverage of the subject matter at this moment in time. … Intended as resource material, the collection achieves its aim as a useful and reliable work of reference, and it will no doubt benefit both a general and specialist readership in the English-speaking world and well beyond.” (Jozefina Komporaly, Theater Forschung, theaterforschung.de, May, 2016)
"The stories about the storytellers in Women Screenwriters International Guide are sometimes as absorbing and fascinating as what the storytellers themselves had created as screenplays. The editors and writers of this book have conducted impressive research and new synthesis that often results in discoveries about film writers who happen to be of female gender, and thus contributing greatly to cinema scholarship." Milcho Manchevski - Macedonian screenwriter/director of Academy Award nominated Before the Rain (1994) and Dust (2001) and Mothers (2010)
"At last there is a comprehensive book dedicated to the female voice in film - internationally heralded women screenwriters and also those whose work may have been forgotten or unacknowledged beyond the borders of their own countries. It is an inspirational document for all female storytellers, wherever they may be in their careers, to know that they are part of a tribe with such deep roots globally. It is at the same time an extraordinary social history that will be of great interest to anyone passionate about filmmaking. It's time that the curtain to be lifted on female screenwriters! This book has been compiled and written with thoroughness and insight. It is a gift to the archives of film history." Kathryn Himoff - film editor and producer of features, television, documentaries: Man in the High Castle (2015),Pollock (2000), Appaloosa (2008), Georgia O'Keefe (2009), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), The Office
(2005), Ugly Betty (2006), Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion (2002) and more.
