"A fascinating book for anyone, female or male, who contemplates making a career in cinematography. It offers a great wealth of insights, evaluating the rewards and the sacrifices which are facing people behind the camera in their professional and personal lives. It opens for the reader a world of strong, courageous women who are possessed by the love of film." - Kris Malkiewicz Author, CInematographer Faculty, California Institute of the Arts "[A] significant contribution -- the kind of book that women entering film school should have to read. So should their teachers -- and so should people in the industry." - Dr. Charles Musser Director, FIlm Studies Program, Yale University "Krasilovsky's interviews with 23 camerawomen provide a useful, informal history of a very recent phenomenon.... These conversations document women's struggle for acceptance by exploring the work lives of women who have taken on roles ranging from camera assistant to experimental filmmaker and director of photography.... All of the interviews are deeply engaging and well presented..... All academic and professional collections." - Choice (in italics) "A vital addition to the current literature on film." - Smith Alumanae Quarterly (in italics)
