She Found It at the Movies: Women Writers on Sex, Desire and Cinema

Because Timothee Chalamet's eyes gleam with the light of a thousand suns. Because you'd let Zo+ Kravitz get away with putting gum in your hair. And because there really should be a national monument dedicated to Gene Kelly's ass. From the tongue-in-cheek to the righteously enraged, *She Found it at the Movies* explores women's secret desires, teen crushes, and one-sided movie star love affairs, flipping the switch on a century of cinema's male-gaze domination. With misogyny and sexism still taking center stage in the real world-what can women's relationships with movies tell us about the wider landscape of sexuality, politics and culture? Featuring writers you know and love from *Buzzfeed*, *The Guardian*, and *Vulture*, these essays pose thoughtful questions about sex and fantasy at the cinema. Like a guilt-free chat with your smartest girlfriends, this book is a positive celebration of female sexuality at its thirstiest.
