Books by Mariah Larsson

Mai Elizabeth Zetterling (1925-94) is among the most exceptional postwar female filmmakers. Critics have compared her work to that of Bergman, Bunuel, and Fellini, but Zetterling had her own distinct style. Mariah Larsson provides a lively and authoritative take on Zetterling's legacy and complicated position within film and women's history.

This book looks closely at Swedish pornography in the 1970s. Mariah Larsson combines contemporary case studies with comprehensive analyses of advertisements, critical responses and censorship records to ask how the small city of Malmoe's embrace of the era's sexual liberation was both representative and unique in relation to the rest of Sweden.
