Reviews
Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image offers up a fascinating addition to theories that inform feminist film criticism as it applies to video art. Laura Mulvey, the eminence grise of feminist film studies, provides a preface, and for the collection itself Reynolds brought together essays, interviews, and even a lengthy poem. The contributors are diverse as well, including scholars, film curators, journalists, and artists. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. * CHOICE *
This book productively brings together research happening across the History of Art, Film Studies, Visual Culture and Fine Art Practice and asserts the importance of practices that have too long remained peripheral. Each of the essays offers fresh, new perspectives, providing an excellent introduction to the recent developments in the study of moving image art. -- Amy Tobin, Curator of Exhibitions, Events and Research at Kettle's Yard and Director of Studies in History of Art, Newnham College, University of Cambridge, UK
