"Ingrid Bergman. Audrey Hepburn. Elizabeth Taylor. Jane Fonda. Meryl Streep. The list
of women who have won the coveted and legendary Academy Award for Best Actress is
long and varied. Through this illustrious roster we can trace the history of women
in Hollywood, from the rise of Mary Pickford in the early 20th century to the #MeToo
and Time's Up movements of today, which have galvanized women across the world to
speak out for equal pay, respect, power, and opportunity. This lavishly illustrated
coffee table book offers a vital examination of the first 75 women to have won the
Best Actress Oscar over the span of 90 years. From inaugural recipient Janet Gaynor
to Frances McDormand's 2018 acceptance speech that assertively brought women to the
forefront, Best Actress: The History of Oscar Winning Women serves to promote a new
appreciation for the cinematic roles these women won for, as well as the real-life
roles many of them played, and still play, in advancing women's rights and equality.
Stories range from Bette Davis' groundbreaking battle against the studio system; to
the cutting-edge wardrobes of Katharine Hepburn, Diane Keaton and Cher; to the historical
significance of Halle Berry's victory; to the awareness raised around sexual violence
by the performances of Jodie Foster, Brie Larson, and others. Showcasing a dazzling
collection of 200 photographs, many of which have never before been seen or published,
Best Actress honors the legacies of these revered and extraordinary women while scrutinizing
the roadblocks that they continue to overcome."
