The document discusses several feminist film theorists and their perspectives on the portrayal of women in cinema. Mary Ann Doane argues for defining a feminine poetic syntax and positioning of looking/desire derived from reimagining depictions of the female body. Teresa de Lauretis calls for reconsidering women in cinema by addressing the spectator as a woman and depicting diversity among women. Laura Mulvey's theory of visual pleasure argues that the spectator and camera adopt the active male gaze, while women on screen are the passive objects of desire.
