"Screening #MeToo offers readers the benefit of a breadth of history and genre without sacrificing in-depth analysis of specific films … All the essays are well written and will prompt readers to rethink popular films within shifting cultural landscapes and representation." — CHOICE"Screening #MeToo provides a significant contribution to the field of film and feminist media studies by examining and analyzing the ways in which Hollywood films have shaped our understanding of rape and its impact on our society. As the first collection to directly address the interconnections between Hollywood films and rape culture, the book will provide the basis for a much broader analysis of the ways in which rape has been portrayed throughout US popular culture, and how these representations have both negatively and positively impacted the ways in which we make sense of rape culture in our society." — Sarah Nilsen, University of Vermont
