Laura Mulvey
Laura Mulvey is a British feminist film theorist, scholar, and writer, best known for her influential essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,' published in 1975. In her work, she introduced the concept of the 'male gaze,' which critiques the way visual arts and literature often depict women from a masculine point of view, reducing them to objects of visual pleasure. Mulvey's ideas have had a profound impact on film studies, feminist theory, and the analysis of gender representation in media.
