Inscribed and signed first edition of "From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies," one of the first books to chronicle women's images in film.
"Along with Marjorie Rosen's "Popcorn Venus," it typifies the first feminist expeditions into film history and criticism, adopting the "image of woman" approach. Haskell compared the portrayal of women on-screen to real life women off-screen to determine if the representation of women in Hollywood cinema was accurate." (From Wikipedia).
Dust-jacket, binding and interior in very good condition.
