Marjorie Rosen's novel Popcorn Venus: Women, Movies & the American Dream is one of the first feminist film theory books. In Rosen's own words, Popcorn Venus is the "first major retrospective on women in films". The book is comprehensive coverage of films from the early to later 20th century, focusing primarily on women's problematic characterization on-screen. Despite some criticism of Rosen's lack of emphasis on diverse women in film, Rosen laid much of the groundwork for feminist film analysis with her book. References
