Zusammenfassung:A new critical perspective on the female auteur that considers her place in the avant-garde tradition of provocationIncludes close critical analysis of eight contemporary women filmmakers and their provocative worksProvides an exploration and account of provocation as an artistic strategy in cinemaOffers a feminist interrogation of the gendering of provocation, and the provocateur, in the discourses of film criticism as a masculine modeCritics regularly use the term provocateur to describe controversial film directors.

Provocation in Women's Filmmaking: Authorship and Art Cinema investigates how women directors participate in the tradition of provocative art cinema.
