Book Synopsis
Detailing the relationship of three women filmmakers' lives and films to the institutions of the post-World War II era, this title presents the social history of North American avant-garde cinema. It argues that avant-garde cinema, open to women because of its marginal status in the art world, included women as filmmakers, organizers, and critics.

Trade Review
"Recent feminist film theory has often called for a new kind of nonpatriarchal, resistant filmmaking practice. Rabinovitz convinces us that, in the case of Deren, Clarke, and Wieland, this practice has been articulated strongly since the 1940s." -- Donald Crafton, author of Emile Cohl, Caricature and Film
