Class, Gender and Sexuality at the Movies, now in its third
edition, is an authoritative and lively examination of diversity

representations of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability. The

"male gaze," feminism, and queer theory. The authors examine each
selected subject via representative films, figures, and movements.
