Ninagawa Mika, Miyake Kyoko and Ando Momoko: Shōjo Dreams and Unruly Idols (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781399549738)

This book explores and theorises female visions of Japanese girlhood in the work of three women directors: Ninagawa Mika, Miyake Kyoko and Ando Momoko. These directors are all highly diverse in their production background, outputs and style, and yet all three share a common preoccupation with visualizing moments of both girlhood and female ageing. The book takes at its core the debate on the aesthetics of gender - something all three women have engaged in - and explores the idea of feminist film historiography.
