“Abraham Lincoln and Women in Film gets at the man behind the myth by examining the women in the life of the Great Emancipator. The book deconstructs Lincoln's fabled persona across film, biography, and culture by considering the role his relationships with women played in its construction. By foregrounding gender, the authors offer a new way of understanding this much-studied figure while shedding light on the women who shaped Lincoln and his filmic representation.” - Jacqueline Pinkowitz, director of film studies at Mercer University
