Sloan, media librarian at Rutgers U., presents a list of approximately 2,400 feature-length films made after 1960 from around the world that feature female protagonists. Entries, which are arranged by country and then date, contain descriptions and cite directors, producers, cinematographers, screenwriters, and actors, as well as release dates. Awards are also listed, if applicable. Ninety percent of those in the list are dramas, and it is not comprehensive, but obscure films are included. A critical survey of women in leading roles introduces the filmography. Indexes are by title; subject; directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, and producers; actresses and actors; and films with best actress awards and nominations. * Reference and Research Book News *
...Reel Women: An International Directory of Contemporary Feature Films about Women, fills a void in the study of film and women....No such reference book prior to its publication contributed in such a unique and substantial way to the field. * Zentralblatt fur Geologie und Palaontologie *
