Roy Adams reviewed The geek feminist revolution by Kameron Hurley
Still timely and thought provoking
5 stars
An interesting set of articles from Kameron Hurley about feminists, science fiction and geeks.
"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.
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.
