by Dan Lalande (Author)

An insightful and entertaining examination of the savvy, funny generation that restored the female imprint on American film comedy in the 1980s, reclaiming cinematic territory from which women had long been sidelined. It's a detailed, readable look at their lives, times, and of course, movies, from Nine to Five (1980) to Steel Magnolias (1989) and every title in between-box-office smashes that proved that in that age of spirited, second-wave feminism, girls didn't just want to have fun but funny.

Praise for Books by Dan Lalande
