Read about it : Women's Film Histories in Scandinavia: Historiography, 
Screenwriting and Costume explores the role of women in Scandinavian 
cinema from the silent-film era to the present day. The book centers on 
two professions in which women have been notably active throughout film 
history: costume design and screenwriting. These roles occupy different 
positions in film culture and production, and by bringing them together, 
the collection highlights women's significance in film history in both 
distinct and complementary ways. Screenwriters have at times enjoyed 
relatively high status and, in certain historical contexts, have even 
been regarded as the primary creators of a film.

Costume designers, by contrast, often belong to the more invisible 
members of a production team—classified as "below the line." In addition 
to discussions on costume work and screenwriting, the book includes a 
section addressing historiographical questions concerning women's place 
in film history. By illuminating women's contributions beyond the 
conventional focus on directors and actors, Women's Film Histories in 
Scandinavia presents women's film history as an alternative way of 
writing the history of cinema
