"This book [Chick Flicks, B. Ruby Rich] has been prompted by my conviction that the present landscape of feminism and film has been deprived of its own history, substituting a canon of texts for a set of lived experiences long since forgotten, shelved, or denied by those who went through them." -Rich
In a way, Divine Horsemen, while an interesting film full of fascinating footage, is not very representative of M. Deren's work. She did not edit the film or finish it herself. I think she shot the footage, that was edited after her death. I am interested in reading a post-colonial critique of this work, but so far haven't found one.
