THE BOOK!!! COMING SOON!!!

Film history bestows most — if not all — of the credit for invention, influence, innovation, leadership, the very foundation of early Hollywood to men and men alone, yet archival research at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills, California, tells a much different story. In truth, women were also instrumental from the first days of cinema and that is where this book comes in. Madame Movie Mogul: Women and Leadership in Early Hollywood features the most innovative, important, influential, and powerful women who built the empire alongside the men.
