Gendering the Nation: Canadian Women's Cinema

'[Gendering the Nation is] a unique, imaginative history of Canadian women's cinema that convincingly demonstrates that to know Canadian women's filmic imagination is to know another country – a country with a "global sense of place" beyond gender, identity, and nation.'

Arthur and Marilouise Kroker, authors of Hacking the Future

'This is the most refreshing and most useful – quite simply the best – book on Canadian cinemas of the last decade. At last gender is consolidated as the central issue in questions of nationality and culture, and in a way that enriches, problematizes and expands the entire field far beyond currently existing canons. Gendering the Nation offers a wealth of perspectives by leading Canadian film scholars and by those who clearly soon will be.'

Thomas Waugh, Professor of Film Studies, Concordia University, and author of the forthcoming The Fruit Machine: Twenty Years of Writings on Queer Cinema
