The idea for this book began to develop a long time ago. After much consideration, I discussed the project with cinema scholars and several colleagues who work primarily on Italian film studies. The response produced by our conversations was unmistakably similar: “Are you sure you have enough material for a book? Besides Wertmüller and Cavani, who else is there to fill up a book of essays about women filmmakers?” These questions left me with the urge to respond. Despite the fact that those I consulted were knowledgeable and possessed considerable expertise, they were unaware of the wealth of material available to explore. Clearly, a widespread lack of visibility of women filmmakers exists, even to experts in the field. Thus, development of such a volume of essays became all the more necessary in order to promote the criticism I hope it will encourage.
