Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Hollywood's Women of Action
Philip Caudrey · 2024
54/100
👎 Skip It
An ambitious, century-spanning look at Hollywood's action heroines, from silent-era serials to Wonder Woman - an interesting angle written by a historian tackling film for the first time. It's a promising premise, but with no independent reviews to lean on and an author new to this subject, I can't yet call it a sure bet.
