The anthology explores contemporary women¿s cinema in relation to issues related to gender and globalization. The anthology gathers scholars from several parts of the world ¿ from Italy, the USA, Turkey, Iran, Greece, New Zealand, Argentina, Germany and Canada.

What comes out is a multifaceted picture showing that women filmmakers, and especially non- Western filmmakers, are key social actors able to narrate the complexities of the current geopolitical condition and of its subjects.
