Robin Blaetz is Visiting Associate Professor in the Film Studies Program at Mount Holyoke College.
In her study of so forceful a figure as Joan of Arc, Blaetz adds
compelling evidence to the argument that Western discourse has
worked historically to render woman as object rather than
subject--and that case is particularly strong because of Blaetz's
excellent scholarship.--Alan Nadel, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, author of Flatlining on the Field of Dreams: Cultural
Narratives in the Films of President Reagan's America
Visions of the Maid is sure to become the standard reference as
Joan of Arc continues to be transformed afresh in future films and
popular culture venues.--Susan E. Linville, University of Colorado
at Denver, author of Feminism, Film, Fascism: Women's
Auto/biographical Film in Postwar Germany
