i [seem to] recall that in the late eighties and nineties there was a great deal of feminist critique of ridley scott's alien [1979] . . . nevertheless a thorough recent bibliographical search has somehow managed to turn up very little . . . i would therefore be grateful for any references to critical work - essays or book chapters - that considers this film from a feminist vantage point many thanks mike ---- Learn to speak like a film/TV professor!
