in honor of womens history month I'd like to see one woman per day that contributed to cinema.
I'll start...Alice Guy-Blache (French, 1875-1968), the first _person_ (man or woman) to direct a film narrative.
from www.reelwomen.com/blachebio.html
Blache directed, produced and/or supervised nearly 300 films in her lifetime. She then spent the rest of her life attempting to prove to others that she had done so.
