"Highly recommended"— Choice
"Rebecca Bell-Metereau has already written the definitive work on androgyny in cinema, and now she completes the circle with what is unquestionably the paradigmatic work on transgender cinema. In Transgender Cinema, Bell-Metereau not only provides a series of incisive interpretations of important transgender films but also recognizes how these films present new possibilities for organizing our enjoyment."— Todd McGowan, author of Only a Joke Can Save Us: A Theory of Comedy
"Rebecca Bell-Metereau’s Transgender Cinema is a superb advance on her early, ground-breaking book, Hollywood Androgyny—it's a scrupulously researched, lucid, major contribution to the study of cinema and gender studies more generally. Timely and both politically and artistically important, it deserves the widest possible readership." — James Naremore, author of Charles Burnett: A Cinema of Symbolic Knowledge
