"An Encyclopedic Dictionary of Women in Early American Films: 1895-1930 is an A-to-Z reference guide (illustrated with over 150 hard-to-find photographs) that dispels the myth that men dominated the film industry during its formative years. Denise Lowe, author of Women and American Television: An Encyclopedia, presents a collection that profiles many of the women who were crucial to the development of cinema as an industry - and as an art form. Whether working behind the scenes as producers or publicists, behind the cameras as writers, directors, or editors, or in front of the lens as flappers, vamps, or serial queens, hundreds of women made profound and lasting contributions to the evolution of the motion picture production."--Jacket
Includes bibliographical references (pages 603-610) and index
The dictionary -- Appendix A: The longest acting careers of female silent actors -- Appendix B: WAMPAS (Western Associated Motion Picture Advertisers) baby stars (1922-1929) and sisters -- Appendix C: Grauman's Chinese Theatre Forecourt of the Stars -- Appendix D: Female pioneers behind the scenes in the film industry (1895-1930) -- Appendix E: Locations of early women stars on the Hollywood walk of fame
