About this title

From the Back Cover:

'From Reverence to Rape is an incisive, exceedingly thoughtful look at the distorted lens through which Hollywood has historically viewed women. It is a valuable contribution not just to film criticism but to a society in which the vital role of women is just beginning to emerge.' - Christian Science Monitor
