- The first comprehensive history of Hollywood's powerful women during the studio era, Nobody's Girl Friday examines the executives, producers, editors, writers, agents, designers, directors, and actresses who shaped Hollywood film production, led their unions, climbed to the top during the Second World War, and fought the blacklist. Based on a decade of archival research and extensive interviewing, Smyth uncovers a formidable generation of women within the American film industry and brings their voices back into Hollywood’s history. This award-winning book fundamentally challenges decades of entrenched film historiography focused on male dominance and female disempowerment between First and Second Wave Feminism.
