Girls on Film: The Complete History of the Women Who Broke Barriers and Redefined Roles by Alicia Malone

4.0

I love well written non-fiction. Give me an interesting storyteller who is passionate about their subject, and could happily read about the origins and details of a myriad of topics. Alicia Malone clearly loves her work, and it shows. Wrapping the film history and analysis of female characterization in a memoir made it even better. Her own personal experiences and film knowledge added a unique bend to her insights. I do wish she’d delved a bit deeper into each trope, I was left wanting more in a few sections, but I still thoroughly enjoyed Girls on Film. I can’t wait to watch some of the classic movies discussed.

Thank you NetGalley and Tantor Audio for this advanced audiobook copy.
