Review of 'The geek feminist revolution' on 'GoodReads'

5 stars

This book was released a couple years ago, but it is still timely. Hurley writes of the need to make space in the science fiction and fantasy book world for women, and especially women of color and other diverse voices. Some of her essays focus on feminism in pop culture, others are more personal, and still others focus on specific problems and possible solutions within science fiction/fantasy circles. This book probably isn’t for everyone, but I would recommend it for people who are more interested in those genres and how we can be more inclusive.
