today, including Geena Davis, J.J. Abrams, Ava DuVernay, Octavia
Spencer, America Ferrera, Paul Feig, and many more; as well as film
professors, historians and experts. Time to level the playing
field. Think of Backwards & In Heels as a guidebook, your entry
into the complex world of women in film. Join Alicia Malone as she
champions Hollywood women of the past and present and looks to the
future. Learn little known facts about: The first females in film
