Backwards and in Heels: The Past, Present and Future of Women Working in Film by Alicia Malone
4.0
This is an insider type expose of Hollywood and the movie industry, in terms of how women are seen, treated and shut out of roles and leadership.
I liked the historical approach, writing about women in each decade. It contains those that succeeded, and acknowledgment of who helped them succeed. It includes those that never reached their dreams as well.
The section regarding each woman is only a few pages, sometimes less. There were a few I skipped, but not many. They discussed positions I really don’t know much about. Read it, have your daughters read it, plus anyone who plans or is in the TV/movie industry, so they know the status quo and are aware of things that need to be done or changed. They need to know who are women allies.
