Book
Women in war films : from helpless heroine to G.I. Jane / Ralph Donald, Karen MacDonald.
"Covering many of the basic archetypes of women in the war film, the book moves smoothly through hundreds of films, offering careful analysis throughout. From Starship Troopers to Back to Bataan and all the stops in between, Women in War Films covers the constantly changing roles of women on the cinematic battlefield with verve and style. A companion piece to the authors' Reel Men at War, this is an encyclopedic, knowledgeable, and accessible book." --CHOICE
