"This book offers a thoughtful overview and comparison of womens involvement in Iranian and Turkish filmmaking, including female characters, performers, and directors . . . The scope of Dönmez-Colins study gives a strong sense of complexities for female performers, filmmakers, and viewers throughout the histories of Iranian and Turkish film. The comparison between films of Iran and Turkey (as well as their similarities to and differences from notable films of other national cinemas) makes for an especially valuable contribution to Iranian film scholarship, given that scholars have often focused on the cultural and political particularities of Iranian cinema rather than its broader relationship with transnational filmmaking." - Max Bledstein for Abstracta Iranica, Volume 42-43
