with Camerawomen Praeger

"A fascinating book for anyone, female or male, who contemplates making a
career in cinematography. It offers a great wealth of insights, evaluating the
rewards and the sacrifices which are facing people behind the camera in their
professional and personal lives. It opens for the reader a world of strong,
courageous women who are possessed by the love of film. " - Kris Malkiewicz,
author, cinematographer, faculty, California Institute of the Arts

women in the filmmaking process. Krasilovsky is a major contributor to a long
neglected but most important segment of serious commentary on our industry and
art form." - Eric Sherman, producer, author, faculty. Art Center College of
Design

industry." — Dr. Charles Musser, Director, Film Studies Program, Yale
University
