Summary

Provides a history of the more than thirty female directors who made films in the United States during the silent film era. The film starts in 1896 with the career of Alice Guy, the screen's first female director, and ends at the beginning of the sound era, where the creation of the studio system and the increasingly male-dominated guilds and unions closed doors for women.
