<P>Between the nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century television transformed from an idea to an institution. This book traces women's relationship to the new medium of television across this period in the UK and USA. It argues that women played a crucial role in its development both as producers and as audiences long before the 'golden age' of television in the 1950s. Beginning with the emergence of media entertainment in the mid-nineteenth century and culminating in the rise of the post-war television industries, the author claims that, all along the way, women had a stake in television. As keen consumers of media, women also helped promote television to the public by performing as 'television girls'. Women worked as directors, producers, technical crew and announcers. It seemed that television was open to women. However, this book shows that the increasing professionalization of television resulted in the segregation of roles. Production became the sphere of men and consumption the sphere of women. While this binary has largely informed women's role in television, through her analysis, the author argues that it has not always been the case.</P>
