One of the few women pioneers of cinema and a staunch feminist, Germaine Dulac firmly believed that the public had a crucial role to play in shaping the history of cinema and the types of films that filmmakers could create. This book draws on a vast array of archival material, including films and writing, to examine Dulac's 'behind-the-scenes work on filmmaking and her social/political activism in the field of cinema. The biographical and historical introduction contextualises Dulac's position at the forefront of the avant-garde. Three chapters organise her films and career around the types of cinema that she promoted: 'psychological, 'pure' and 'documentary.' The conclusion contrasts Dulac's contributions with those of Alice Guy Blaché, another early woman film pioneer, highlighting their divergent paths to recognition.
