This is a great companion book to the book about the Women of Ink & Paint at Disney, which was published a few years ago. The author goes into great detail of the story of the women of Disney Studios who had a hand in shaping the iconic films the studio created. These influential women had to fight stereotypes, and try to persevere in an industry ruthlessly dominated by men, and whose names were almost never in any of the films' credits. Showing how these women infiltrated the boys' club of Disney, into the story and animation departments, is very eye-opening and an integral part of film history.
The author takes the reader through the early days of Disney, before Snow White was created, up to modern times, all the while keeping the thread of the influence these women have had throughout the history of the company. Definitely a fascinating read if you are interested in Disney history, but also if you like to discover more about women's history that has been untold (until now).
