HOLLYWOOD HER STORY - JILL TIETJEN BARBARA BRID...

The American public (and the public around the world) remain fascinated with film stars. A
Timeline of Women's Contributions to the Movies is a unique book about the film industry in
that the format is a timeline that will include a picture of each woman or the film or
technology in which she was involved  and a short description of her significant
accomplishments. Quotes and other pictures are placed throughout the book to provide a rich
historical context of the societal and political events occurring at that time. The format
allows the reader to move quickly from woman to woman and from achievement to achievement. In
spite of women purchasing half of the movie tickets sold in the U.S. today  women and girls are
chronically underrepresented in the mainstream film industry  both behind the camera and on the
screen. It is important  therefore  to show that women have been involved with the film
industry in every capacity since its founding in 1896. Their existence and stories should not
be lost. Building on the legacy of HER STORY: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America
(HarperCollins - hardback 2008  paperback 2013)  this book will be an inclusive volume across
all facets of the film industry from acting to directing  from producing to editing  from
casting to wardrobe  from stunts to the technical advances in the industry. Women's
contributions will be acknowledged from the late 1890s through 2017. Seeing them all in one
book shows the impressive impact women have had on the movies.
