The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Girl Reel by Bonnie J. Morris Two thumbs up for this smart and funny personal history of a lesbian coming of age and coming out at the movies. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description What do Susan Sarandon, Barbara Hershey, Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, and Cher have in common?All have portrayed lesbian characters on the silver screen. Although cinema and television in the last three decades of the twentieth century have been a wasteland for women in general and lesbians in particular looking for strong images of themselves, Bonnie Morris gives readers a front row seat on a life growing up and coming out at the movies. Morris writes, This is a collection of movie stories-by which I mean recollections of events, images, turning points generated by specific moviegoing experiences, and specific movies and the book is built around the catalyst of going to a movie as a chunk of formative girl identity. Girl Reel is a raucous, rollicking, sometimes acerbic look at the powerful influence the entertainment industry has on our community, family, and social lives.A must-have for all film buffs, Girl Reel is a book about our relationship to popular culture-how media images both preview and rerun our own lives. By surveying images of women and lesbians in television and film over the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and chronicling the move of lesbian and gay issues from the margins to the mainstream, Morris offers her own images of strong women, for a new generation of readers / viewers.Bonnie J.
