Unfortunately, many early women filmmakers have been\r\nlargely written out of film history, their contributions undervalued.\r\nThis necessary and timely collection highlights the work of 14 of early\r\ncinema's most innovative and influential women directors, re-writing\r\nand celebrating their rightful place in film history.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eInternational in scope, this groundbreaking collection\r\nfeatures over 10 hours of material, comprised of 25 films spanning\r\n1911-1940, including many rare titles not widely available until now.\r\nDirectors include Mabel Normand, Alice Guy Blanché, Lois Weber, Dorothy\r\nDavenport, Germaine Dulac, Olga Preobrazhenskaya, Dorothy Arzner and\r\nMary Ellen Bute.
