This is a topical resource that provides a comprehensive look at
the most influential women in Hollywood cinema across a wide-range
of occupations rarely found together in a single volume. Unlike
other anthologies, Hollywood Heroines: The Most Influential Women
in Film History is a hybrid of film history and industry
information with an exclusive focus on prominent women. This
reference work includes more commonly discussed categories of
important women in Hollywood film history, such as directors and
actresses, and reaches beyond them to encompass women working as
cinematographers, casting directors, studio heads, musical
composers, and visual and special effects supervisors. The wide
range of filmmaking crafts covered in the book provides an acute
view of the industry and increases the visibility of and quality of
representation for women working in Hollywood. By bringing the
experience of these influential women to light, Hollywood Heroines
joins a growing movement that endeavors to dismantle harmful,
long-standing industry myths that perpetuate the systemic
underrepresentation of women and the devaluation of women's stories
in the Hollywood film industry.
