Red Velvet Seat: Women’s Writings on the First Fifty Years of Cinema Food all of which are richlyA comprehensive anthology of women's film culture, from the origins of cinema to 1950. As viewers, actresses, directors and writers, women have always been central to cinema. However, evidence of their roles has until now remained scant and dispersed, eclipsed by historical opinion written by men. In magisterial scale, Red Velvet Seat restores womens film culture to center stage, using women's written accounts from the beginning of cinema up to 1950.
