RENEGADE SISTERS: GIRL GANGS ON FILM by Bev Zalcock (1999 Creation / 192 pp / tp)
I understand there's an updated edition from 2001 with 60 more pages, but I can't see how it can be any better than this lazy tome that's ALL OVER THE PLACE and hardly talks about its subject matter, that being GIRL GANGS ON FILM. The author REALLY grasps at straws here as most of the chapters--allegedly connected to girl gang films--just aren't. It should have been a four-chapter magazine article without all the off-topic filler.
Some of the photo reproductions are quite fuzzy, and there's a non-girl gang film on the cover (the one pictured above is from REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS, a women-in-prison parody that's ever-so-loosely a related film).
A pure mess.
