To highlight the wonderful yet largely forgotten work of a collection of female screenwriters from the early years of Hollywood (and as a companion to the book, When Women Wrote Hollywood) we will be posting quick bits about the many films they wrote along with links to further information and clips from their works which are still accessible online.

I think you’ll be surprised at how much bold material these writers tackled at the birth of this new medium. — Rosanne Welch
