Summary:

The history of Hollywood is also a history of women working in the industry -- writing, directing, producing, and making highly successful films. Yet the role of women in movies, aside from their more visible on-screen presence, has largely been ignored. Sova tells the story of the women who shaped Hollywood -- an indispensable chapter in the one-hundred-year history of Hollywood.
