Greenwald went on to write and direct her groundbreaking Western, "The Ballad of Little Jo" (1993), which was released worldwide by Fine Line Features and Polygram Filmed Entertainment. Star Suzy Amis was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award while co-star David Chung won the award for Best Supporting Actor. A great deal has been written about the film by scholars of the Western who consider "The Ballad of Little Jo" a landmark revisionist film within the genre. The film is also one of the primary subjects of Modleski’s "Old Wives Tales and Other Women’s Stories", which explores “the phenomenon of female authors and performers who ‘cross-dress’ - women, that is, who are moving into male genres and staking out territory declared off-limits by men and by many feminists.”
