- In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Farrow, son of actress Mia Farrow and filmmaker Woody Allen. to a story about Harvey Weinstein , protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. This is the story of the tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement of metoo.

- Description
- This book explores the construction and representation of masculinity in low-budget western movies made from the 1930s to the early 1950s. These films contained some of the mid-twentieth-century’s most familiar names, especially for youngsters: cowboys such as Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, and Red Ryder. The book combines the author’s childhood fascination with this genre with an interdisciplinary scholarly exploration of the films influence on modern views of masculinity. McGillis argues that the masculinity offered by these films is less one-dimensional than it is plural, perhaps contrary to expectations. Their deeply conservative values are edged with transgressive desire, and they construct a male figure who does not fit into binary categories, such as insider/outsider or masculine/feminine. Particularly relevant is the author’s discussion of George W. Bush as a cowboy and how his aspirations to cowboy ideals continue to shape American policy.

- Gregory presents the history of stuntwomen in the film industry from the silent era to the twenty-first century. In the early years of motion pictures, women were highly involved in all aspects of film production, but they were marginalized as movies became popular and profitable. Capable stuntwomen were replaced by men in wigs and very few worked between the 1930s and 1960s. As late as the 1990s, men wore wigs and women's clothes to double as actresses, and were even 'painted down' for some performances, while men and women of color were regularly denied stunt work. For decades, stuntwomen have faced institutional discrimination, unequal pay, and sexual harassment even as they jumped from speeding trains and raced horse-drawn carriages away from burning buildings. Featuring sixty-five interviewsthis book showcases the stories of women who make their living planning.

- Description
- Women held more positions of power in the silent film era than at any other time in American motion picture history. As an example actrice Gene Gauntier wrote the first script of Ben-Hur and Helen Holmes choreographed her own on-camera stunt work. Yet these and other filmmaking women vanished from memory. Using individual careers as a point of departure, the book describes how women first fell out of the limelight and then out of the film history itself. The author examines how 1970s feminist historiography failed to rediscover them and sees a need for a theory of these artists' pasts that relates their aspirations to those of contemporary women.
