About the Authors


The genesis of this book was a series of breakfasts over a couple of years. The authors got to know each other, talked about their lives, the lack of knowledge of women in history and many other topics that women discuss. At one of those breakfasts, Jill mentioned that there would be a series of Her Story books.  Barbara suggested that the second in the series should be about women and the movies.  Suddenly, before the next bite, the seed was planted for this book—a book on women throughout film’s existence, a Her Story of the movie industry.
