"Stands out for its ambition and breadth.... Women Through the Lens not only lays a foundation and road map for other scholars but it should be used as a reference book by anyone interested in Chinese film." - Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews "A very fine introduction to Chinese film for students approaching the topic in a feminist film criticism course or in a course in which grounding in film theory cannot be assumed but is absolutely necessary for the students." - China Review International "Women Through the Lens is a theoretically engaged work supported by illuminating textual analysis. Cui's systematic and insightful analysis of the female image and women's films in modern China not only contributes to the growing corpus of Chinese film studies but also provides critical evidence to buttress the concept of a transnational feminism recognizing geopolitical and national differences in the discourses of gender." - Pacific Affairs"
