Abstract
This entry highlights women writers from the silent film era to the classical period of Danish cinema from 1930–60, the modernist and auteur-oriented 1960s to the more feminist films of the 1970s and 1980s; it then outlines the coming of a generation of educated writer-directors and screenwriters, after the establishment of a screenwriting department at the National Film School of Denmark, and the emergence of a wide variety of women writers now working within feature films and television as well as documentary.1
