An amended version of Women Filmmakers and Their Films (1998, St. James Press), this trade edition focuses solely on the filmmakers and expands their entries. Entries for 200 film directors, producers, screenwriters, editors, cinematographers, art directors, costume designers, and animators are arranged alphabetically; each entry comprises a brief biography, complete filmography, and a contributed expository essay. A chronology of film history includes major contributions by women that have been overlooked by other film histories, such as the fact that Frenchwoman Alice Guy made what is considered the first fictional film ever. B&w photos appear throughout. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
