"The book collects dozens of Hurley's essays on feminism, geek culture, and her experiences and insights as a genre writer, including "We Have Always Fought," which won the 2013 Hugo for Best Related Work. The Geek Feminist Revolution will also feature several entirely new essays written specifically for this volume."--Amazon.com.
An interesting set of articles from Kameron Hurley about feminists, science fiction and geeks.
Hurley has a powerful voice and I learned allot from her.
Even though the Geek Feminist Revolution was published in 2015 and predates the Trump presidency and the Me Too movement, she already discusses the underlying issues that have now become more pronounced.
I'm now going to look for more recent essays by Kameron Hurley.
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.
