"In the early twentieth century, women from all walks of life fought against sexism and racism to succeed in Hollywood as actors, directors, costume designers, editors, and stunt women. From well-known, glamorous starlets like Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish, to under-appreciated trailblazers like Anna May Wong and Hattie McDaniel, . . . Susan Goldman Rubin shows that movies wouldn't be the same without the women who succeeded against the odds and built Hollywood from the ground up"--Provided by publisher.
