Pamela Hutchinson has reviewed our new book Silent Women: Pioneers of Cinema in the April issue of the internationally acclaimed film magazine Sight & Sound published by the British Film Institute.
In her (almost) full page review Pamela said “The book gallops across silent film history, extracting names long known only to aficionados and building up a retrospective  network of female talent.”
She highlighted Kevin Brownlow’s chapter, a previously unpublished interview with Dorothy Arzner as a “highlight” and praised it by saying “Silent Women, in uncovering a diverse range of female voices from the past, offers a variety of present voices… On this evidence, the relative diversity of the industry’s past should shame it into taking action in the future.”
