"In this brilliant book, Förster delineates 'careerographries' of three stars of early cinema—one Dutch (Adriënne Solser), one French (Musidora), and one Canadian (Nell Shipman)....Förster is painstaking in locating the women's careers in personal, theatrical, literary, and cinematic context, and she does especially well in reconstructing their lost films. An amazing book...Essential."
