Reviews
“International Cinema and the Girl (2016), edited by Fiona Handyside and Kate Taylor-Jones, is a welcome and important contribution at the intersection of girls studies and feminist film theory. … This is a balanced and exciting collection of essays. … The editors have achieved their aim of assembling an impressive collection of essays that reassert the specificity of the girl on screen in her local and individual context, while also attending to the global issues that the films address.” (Elspeth Mitchell, Girlhood Studies, Vol. 10 (1), 2017)
"International Cinema and the Girl makes a great contribution to the field by addressing, through smart and conceptually varied perspectives, a wide range of films produced globally. These films demonstrate what the editors call, rightfully, 'the complex variety of girlhood representations.' The scope of the book is impressive in illuminating the many ways in which girls' identity has figured centrally in films made in the US, Europe, Africa, Argentina, Japan, and Iran during the last twenty years." - Gaylyn Studlar, author of Precocious Charms: Stars Performing Girlhood in Classical Hollywood Cinema
