Chick Flicks - Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement

"This collection of writings by B. Ruby Rich is sure to become a classic. She has proven herself to be a courageous guide into uncharted aesthetic and political territory and, in describing so eloquently what she finds there, she does what critics aspire to but rarely achieve: she both educates and entertains."--Sally Potter, director of the films "Orlando" and "The Tango"
