Women in Film[edit]

Women in Film was the first feminist film periodical. Salyer and Beh were aspiring filmmakers in Los Angeles when they founded it in the early 1970s.[2] According to Constance Penley, Professor of Film & Media Studies at UC Santa Barabara, it published "the first feminist critiques of Hollywood film," promoted alternative films, and researched women's contributions to film history.[3]
