Gendered History of Editing

critical perspective on film history that acknowledges editing's early status as a craft accessible to women, often stereotyped with 'feminine' traits like nurturing or patience. This viewpoint critiques how the foundational contributions of these women were often minimized or erased as the role gained prestige and became male-dominated. The common attribution of juxtaposition's power to Kuleshov, rather than the practitioners, is a prime example of this historical erasure.
