Doane explores how women are represented on screen and how concepts of sexuality, desire, identity, and power operate within cinematic images and narratives.
Topics discussed include female spectatorship, femininity as masquerade, the cinematic close-up, representations of the female face, sexuality, race, and the figure of the femme fatale. The book draws on examples from classical cinema, including films such as Gilda and Pandora’s Box.
Originally published by Routledge in 1991, the book is illustrated with images and film stills and is particularly relevant to the study of feminist film theory, gender studies, psychoanalysis, and cinema studies.
