Universal Women

Filmmaking and Institutional Change in Early Hollywood

Mark Cooper

Between 1912 and 1919, the Universal Film Manufacturing Company credited eleven women with directing at least 170 films, but by the mid-1920s all of these directors had left Universal and only one was left. Focusing on issues of institutional change, this title challenges the interpretations that explain women's exile from the film industry.

Rezension zu: Universal Women

"With rigorous focus, admirable economy, and wide-ranging research, Cooper outlines a sophisticated strategy for investigating how and why Universal Studios hired women as directors and then stopped doing so. This is the book we have been waiting for." Kay Armatage, author of The Girl from God's Country: Nell Shipman and the Silent Cinema
