Reviews
"[Abramowitz's] descriptions of even the most well-known people are original and dead on. . . . The results are both fascinating and moving." -Los Angeles Times "A heck of a good read." -Larry King,USA Today "If you haven't yet found the right escapist fiction, you might want to try this nonfiction page-turner by entertainment journalist Rachel Abramowitz. Is That a Gun in Your Pocket? . . . has all the elements of Jackie Collins or Jacqueline Susann-sex, money, love, betrayal, power-plus the sweep of a great generational coming-of-age novel. That the professional highs and personal lows of the women peopling this multiple biography are all real makes it even better than fiction." -Entertainment Weekly "Unsparing in her portrayal, Abramowitz offers a well-balanced . . . picture of narcissism and drive without the usual Hollywood spin."-The New York Times Book Review "This riveting book will inspire in readers a new respect for the unyielding women who have scaled the dizzying heights of Hollywood's power structure. [An] entertaining, in-depth look at women's struggles to succeed in Hollywood." -Us Weekly From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
"Women and power-perhaps no other confluence of subjects has launched as many myths, or stirred as much gossip." Eight years ago, a remarkably talented reporter named Rachel Abramowitz began interviewing the women of Hollywood to, in her words, "puncture the mythology and to circumvent the silence" of this rarefied world. At the time, women directors, agents, producers and studio executives made up only a tiny minority of the industry. Abramowitz wanted to find out what had allowed this handful of women to infiltrate the male-dominated world of moviemaking-and what was keeping other women out.Is That a Gun in Your Pocket'is a vibrant social history that brings to light the previously untold saga of the rise of women in Hollywood over the past forty years.          In these pages, some of the most famous, most powerful, and most outrageous members of the film industry go on record with their war stories. From superstar actors to independent directors, women in all arenas of the moviemaking business opened up to Abramowitz. Their firsthand tales of jealousy, struggle, sexism, and success make for a fascinating behind-the-cameras look at what it is really like to be a woman in Hollywood.          Abramowitz's insight and novelistic style make for a fantastic romp through every major studio, every agency, and hundreds of sets, back lots, and dressing rooms. Here, in their own candid and pro-vocative words, are Jodie Foster, Penny Marshall, Dawn Steel, Sue Mengers, Sherry Lansing, Polly Platt, Barbra Streisand, Paula Weinstein, Nora Ephron, Carrie Fisher, Meryl Streep, Jane Campion, Amy Heckerling, Callie Khouri, Joan Tewkesbury, and many others. Together they form a community of friends, colleagues, and competitors that constitutes one of the most riveting casts you're likely to find in fiction or nonfiction. Woven throughout the individual dramas is a strikingly original analysis of the films of the last four decades that fairly and accurately shows the difficulty women have faced in getting their stories on screen. With telling details from the insiders them-selves, Abramowitz reveals the almost reflexive sexism that exists in Hollywood and traces how the male-dominated atmosphere influences what is seen by moviegoers around the world. Inspiring, scandalous, poignant, and hilarious, this is both a landmark look at the evolution of women's place in filmmaking and a glimpse inside one of the most powerful industries in American culture.

    Many issues. Took 12 days to receive. Shipped Ground Advantage when the listing said it would be shipped Priority mail. Received the magazine with very noticeable pages ripped out throughout the magazine. Contacted the seller with photos on the June 28th. It's now July 6 with no response from the seller. Poor customer service. Be careful purchasing magazines from this seller if your intention is to receive a complete one and in a timely manner.
