Women in Early Cinema
Harold L. Drimmer Library, Room 146
This presentation on women in early cinema highlights three influential directors: Alice Guy-Blaché, a trailblazer and the first woman to own her own film studio; Lois Weber, who was once considered on par with Cecil B. DeMille; and Dorothy Arzner, a prominent studio director of the 1920s and 1930s and the inventor of the sound boom.
