Never Done introduces generations of women who worked behind the scenes in the film industry—from dressmakers to secretaries to script readers. Challenging the dismissive
characterization of these women as merely menial workers, media historian Erin Hill shows how their labor required considerable technical and interpersonal skills. As it pores through rare
archives and integrates the firsthand accounts of women employed in the film industry, this book gives a voice to women whose work was indispensable yet largely invisible.
