Hottell Ruth A. - Noteworthy Francophone Women Directors: A Sequel

I had no idea when Jan asked me to rewrite the introduction that I would be editing this book without her. We lost her in October 2008; rarely does a day go by that I dont think of her, wondering what she would say about whatever windmill life had me chasing at the time. Her legacy goes on; this book is part of it. Her physical voice may be silenced, but those she left behind hear it every day in our hearts and minds.

Thus it is that this book is dedicated to Jan and that she also appears here in the acknowledgments. Without her, none of this work would have seen the light of day. On her behalf and for myself, I would also like to thank Wes Hoffman for his invaluable help with the photographs and other technical aspects. Research for this book was funded in part by Bowling Green State University, the University of Toledo Kohler Fund, the College of Arts and Sciences there, and the Office of Research there. Ramona and Pascal made it all worthwhile. Also, Ramona generously read drafts, and they both gave invaluable advice throughout the project. Finally, Sara Dibling was more than just a proofreader with a keen eyeshe pushed me to finish and sheltered me from windmills so that I could work.

I am indebted to Brooke Bascietto, Della Vach, and Liliana Koebke from the editorial staff at Rowman & Littlefield for their kindness and patient guidance. Finally, I would like to thank Robert Swanson for his excellent indexing.

Last, but certainly not least, we are most grateful to the many filmmakers who cooperated in various ways in the preparation of this book and particularly to Agns Varda for interviews over the years and for the eloquent self-portrait she furnished for the cover.
