Women in Film
We’re proud to introduce our newest column, Women In Film. In this new segment, authored by BHP’s newest contributor, Sofia Sheehan, she will highlight some of cinema’s most notable women, while shining the spotlight on many that have been often overlooked. Women In Film will be published on Fridays beginning July 23rd.
Over the next few weeks, Sofia will be focusing on Women Pioneers; specifically the women who broke through as director’s in a male dominated industry. Check back with us next Friday as Sofia discusses Director Lois Weber, known for her film Where Are All My Children.
