Publisher's Note
Record numbers of women are working in all areas of the film and television industries. Actresses are creating their own production companies in order to obtain better roles and more control of their material. Women are creating TV shows to explore stories that more closely reflect their lives. There are more films about women and women's issues, and more money-making films with women protagonists. Change is occurring at every level, and women are clearly having an impact that is reshaping the entertainment industry and the product it delivers. Who better to tell of these changes than script consultant and author Linda Seger. Through interviews with key players such as Sherry Lansing, Dawn Steel, Gillian Armstrong, Marlo Thomas, Linda La Plante, Nora Ephron, Liv Ullman, Loretta Young, Jane Wyman, and many, many others, she shows just what a woman's influence means in what we see - and what we will see much more of in the years ahead - in movie theaters and on our TV screens and how, in turn, that power affects society.

Through interviews with such key players as Sherry Lansing, Dawn Steel, Meg Ryan, Mary McDonnell, Marlo Thomas, Nora Ephron, Richard and Lili Zanuck, Liv Ullman, Jane Wyman, and many, many others, internationally known script consultant and seminar leader Linda Seger shows just what the feminine touch means in what we see and will increasingly see in movie theaters and on our TV screens.

Industry Reviews
This is an exceptionally well-organized, broadly stimulating discussion of a topic that might interest almost anyone. Seger (From Script to Screen, LJ 2/1/94) incorporates interviews with women from many countries as well as some working outside the U.S. mainstream in avant-garde, documentary, independent, and even academic arenas. An impressive interviewer, Seger is undaunted in taking advantage of contacts in Mexico, Australia, Eastern Europe, and Asia, while keeping Hollywood production as the common reference point. Her background as a scriptwriter gives the interviews a strong focus on narrative problems, which is easily extended to the stories of the women and their work environments. Her enthusiasm and generosity toward what some might see as marginal participants gives the book unexpected depth. The book concludes with a discovery: "Women all over the world were asking for more diversity and balance in the films we see, teamwork and partnership with men, and more authentic female characters." Recommended for all libraries with an interest in contemporary culture. Jane E. Sloan, Rutgers Univ. Libs., New Brunswick, N.J.
Ives

The pedestrian title is unfortunately apt for this book by a script consultant who has also written texts on scriptwriting. Seger has interviewed key women working in TV and film today, including Dawn Steel, Sherry Lansing, Nora Ephron and Liv Ullman. Most of them say the dutiful, expectable things: that women have to work harder than men to succeed, need to develop mentoring strategies, can't lose sight of the need to entertain even when trying to create socially significant work and so on. The general effect is rather dull and repetitious. The layout of the book, in short bites that resemble paragraphs in a long magazine article, does not help, and Seger uncritically accepts anything her interviewees say (Sharon Stone: "I try to find pictures that support my soul... I have a pro-woman agenda."). The not very surprising conclusion: women have more power in the visual media than they used to, but still not nearly enough and too many movies that demean them still get made.
