Quote:
"Using cinema as a means of personal expression within the canonized structural film movement, [Joyce] Wieland developed a uniquely feminist lexicon that addressed women's views, experiences and voices. She infused the often modernist or minimalist concerns of the avant-garde with what has come to be known and designated as the feminine."
