In "Feminisms in the Cinema" well-known feminist theorists juxtapose their work with that of women filmmakers. Each writer addresses some aspect of marginality, discussing it as a political strategy and as a challenge to power structures. Different approaches reflect the diversity of contemporary feminist theorizing; essays revisit some classic questions raised by feminist research, situating them in different cultural and sociopolitical milieus. Contributors include Kay Armatage, Giuliana Bruno, Teresa de Lauretis, Judith Mayne, Laura Mulvey, Midi Onodera, B. Ruby Rich, Monika Treut, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Marguerite R. Waller, Christine Welsh, and Patricia White.
