Lady from the Black Lagoon Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick

bookclub4m non-fiction entertainment industry genre book 2

This was so much fun to read. It's not just an informative, affecting account of a little known creative person's life. It's also a paean to fandom in genre film like horror films, and a stump post to why allowing sexism to run wild in any industry destroys what women bring to the table to protect male egos and leaves us all poorer for it (can you imagine what we could have had if not for winey-man-babies with too much power????) Also I need to watch The Shape of Water now.
