The three editors of Women Filmmakers: Refocusing have done a remarkable job of gathering material about the state of women's feature and documentary filmmaking in the world outside of the United States, providing film historical background, and reminding the reader of the stakes and parameters of the feminist film theory that launched many women as filmmakers ... Women Filmmakers: Refocusing is useful for film researchers, students, and general readers as well as those working in women's and cultural studies. The balance between academic discourse and practical experience, as well as between theory, history, and analysis, will serve all readers, as will the solid scholarly apparatus in the form of footnotes and filmographies. -- Robin Blaetz University of Toronto Quarterly, Winter 2004/05
