Mary Ann Doane  

Definition

  • Mary Ann Doane is an American film theorist whose work in feminist film criticism shifted the focus from representations of women in cinema to analyzing how filmic depictions of women target the female spectator. Working from the assumption that as an aspect of a patriarchal society, the Hollywood film bases its construction of the gaze as male, Doane examined the effects of filmic identification on women.
