About
"Through the focus on three innovative series, Widows (ITV 1983), Prime Suspect (ITV 1991), and Trial and Retribution (ITV 1997), the book maps questions of gender and genre, acting and stardom and authorship and value against the changing relationship between women and the industry. The final chapter confirms La Plante's metamorphosis from 'writer for hire' to astute entrepreneur through a focus on the transnational aesthetics and contexts of dramas such as Killer Net (C4 1997) and Bella Mafia (CBS 1997)".--BOOKJACKET.
