Review: Five Stars - too expansive Review: An amazing collection. - This book has a myriad of different articles, some I agreed with and some I didn't, but they were all very in-depth and interesting. Well, most of them were interesting. The 13 Going on 30 essay was a little more existential than I could grasp, but for the most part they're all relatively readable if you already know a little something about feminist theory. I got this book for my birthday, and I can say it is one of the best gifts I've gotten. Seriously love it. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,948,311 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,500 in Movie Theory #2,713 in Film & Television #2,978 in Media Studies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 9 Reviews | ## Images ![Feminism at the Movies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61r6aLqs3pL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on December 26, 2017* too expansive ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing collection. *by L***H on September 28, 2013* This book has a myriad of different articles, some I agreed with and some I didn't, but they were all very in-depth and interesting.
