Women and American television
About
"From thought-provoking trends to entertaining trivia, this work presents more than 400 entries on the individuals, programs, media innovations, and broad topics that tell the story of women's involvement both in front of and behind the television camera.".
"A-to-Z entries cover specific individuals, television programs and entities, such as Gracie Allen, Ally McBeal, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Penny Marshall, Our Miss Brooks, Jane Pauley, Jamie Tarses, That Girl, and Oprah Winfrey. Readers wishing to pursue broader trends in television history will thrill to browsing the encyclopedia's numerous sidebar articles, which treat such topics as Asian Women, Buddy Characters, Fifties Moms, Older Women on Television, Rural Women, and Screwball Wives.".
"Although limited in focus to the role of women in and on television, this work is notable for unearthing the more obscure personalities and programs not covered by other television encyclopedias. Includes bibliography, several appendixes, and a subject index."--BOOK JACKET.
