About this book
Shaping Global Cultures through Screenwriting: Women Who Write Our Worlds is a powerful testament to the undeniable impact of an international collection of female screenwriters. Spanning film, television, virtual reality, games, and digital media, these case studies showcase instances when women have used screenwriting to challenge injustice and give voice to communities across the globe.
Acknowledging global disparities in wealth and power, the book exposes screenwriting as activism, which shifts attitudes and alters lived experiences. Whether about gender and race or war and colonization, or other serious issues, each chapter reveals the deep connections between storytelling and social change.
More than just a study of the craft, this is a celebration of the women writers who use their artistic lens to educate and empower others.
Geared toward readers interested in screenwriting, media studies, sociology, women's studies, and a wide range of humanities subjects, including history and population studies, this book brings long-overdue attention to the vital role women take in shaping global cultural landscapes.
