# Film Makers: 15 Groundbreaking Women Directors - Hardcover

by **Lyn Miller-Lachmann** (Author), **Tanisia Moore** (Author)

**In Hollywood, women don't have to be in front of the camera to shine.**

Each of the 15 women profiled in _Film Makers_ shares a common trait: she is, as Shonda Rhimes says, "First. Only. Different."

These phenomenal women have redefined the film and television industry, winning awards historically given to a male counterpart, being the only woman in a writers' room, or portraying stories no one else could tell.

While their resumes are impressive, it is how they live their lives that has made a greater impact in the communities they serve. Many of them, like Gina Prince-Bythewood and Greta Gerwig, mentor other women. Some, like Agnieszka Holland and Chloé Zhao, have stood up to those who seek to ignore or silence them. All of them tell their stories with passion and integrity, serving as role models and champions for future generations.

We hope they will inspire you to use the tools of film to tell your story!
