Editorial Reviews
Review
“Refocusing is an important collection of essays and ideas, one that teaches as well as inspires.” — Journalof Film and Video
“This is a great book. I’m sure that anyone who teaches women’s cinema has felt the need for a book that brings the discussion of feminist theory up to date with current film practices.” — Mary Alemany-Galway
