Description
Summary:Including "interviews, articles that Weber wrote, the text of a speech she gave, and reconstructed conversations with her Hollywood coworkers, [this book reintroduces] Lois Weber (1879-1939), [who] was one of early Hollywood's most successful screenwriter-directors. A one-time Church Army worker who preached from street corners, Weber began working in the American film industry as an actress around 1908 but quickly ascended to the positions of screenwriter and director. She wrote, directed, starred in, edited, and titled hundreds of movies during her career and is believed to be the first woman to direct a feature film. At the height of her influence, Weber used her medium to address pressing social issues such as birth control, abortion, capital punishment, poverty, and drug abuse"--Publisher marketing.
