Exploring the intersection of gender and historical representation, this book analyzes films directed by women that depict significant events and figures. Julia Erhart critiques the harsh scrutiny faced by female filmmakers and their emotional portrayals of history. She connects the works of directors like Kathryn Bigelow and Ruth Ozeki to broader historiographical themes such as valor and memory. By examining various sub-genres, including biopics and historical documentaries, the book offers a fresh perspective on women's contributions to historical cinema.
