"Written in an engagingly direct style...an accessible and thorough
account....a valuable source of reference and a mapping of the
terrain for future research." --Journal of Popular British Cinema,
2002
"A nicely condensed and even racy sense of narrative."--The
Stage
"Written with a zeal for its subjects which makes the book both a
pleasure to read and a valuable social document....Harper...has
done as much as anyone to examine the importance of the
representation and function of women in British
cinema."--Australian Journal
"successfully melds the methods of empirically-based historical
research (...) with textual analysis. It is also lucidly and
forcefully written...capable of insight and erudition....informed,
insightful, illuminating and often innovative...this book is indeed
written with a passion for the British cinema and for the place of
women within it." --HJFRT, March 2002
"Women in British Cinema is a major contribution to this growing
body of literature. [Sue Harper] combines a combative and engaged
feminism with a scholarly analysis of a wide variety of primary
sources that allow her to contextualize her acute analysis."
-Andrew Spicer, Journal of Contemporary History, 2004
