'What Women in Iberian Filmic Culture does particularly well is to bring together various perspectives that cover the less obvious aspect of women's contributions to the Iberian film industries. Forming some unusual connections between disciplines that rarely feature in history books, and focusing on contributions that often happen in the background and remain unaccounted for, we are effectively presented with an alternative vision of female resistance (and persistence), while also making a difficult journey through an otherwise male dominated field. [...] Women in Iberian Filmic Culture is therefore a refreshing read, appreciating the input that generations of women have made to shape the filmmaking industry on the Iberian Peninsula.' -- Agata Lulkowska, Studies in European Cinema
