Quote:
"This transition of women film makers from centrality to marginality is both exemplified in, and to some extent explained by, the career of Nell Shipman. Not only was she part of that 'first wave' of women film makers (and arguably, more significant to it than has been credited) but the failure of her own production company helps clarify the fate of other contemporary independent studios."
