The Fall And Rise Of Women In Film Book Cover Women Vs Hollywood: The Fall And Rise Of Women In Film

The film industry has long been dominated by men, both in front of and behind the camera. But in recent years, there has been a growing movement to give women a more prominent role in filmmaking. This book tells the story of that movement, from its early beginnings to the present day.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "The Fall," tells the story of how women were gradually excluded from the film industry in the early days of cinema. The second part, "The Rise," tells the story of how women began to fight back for their rightful place in the industry. And the third part, "The Future," looks at the challenges and opportunities that women in film face today.

The book is written by a team of experts on women in film, including scholars, filmmakers, and activists. They provide a comprehensive and nuanced look at the issue, drawing on a wide range of sources, including interviews, archival research, and personal experience.
