Geek Feminist Revolution

Kameron Hurley is one of the most influential young voices in science fiction and geek culture, THE GEEK FEMINIST REVOLUTION: ESSAYS ON SUBVERSION, TACTICAL PROFANITY, AND THE POWER OF MEDIA is BAD FEMINIST for the Comic-Con crowd. It's a powerful collection of essays about overcoming misogyny in geek culture, the persistence required to succeed as a woman writing science fiction, and imagining a better world and a better future through the stories we write. Kameron is the author of award-winning science fiction and fantasy novels including GOD'S WAR and THE MIRROR EMPIRE, but she's best known for her provocative and insightful nonfiction writing about being a woman in geek culture. Her blog has over 125,000 unique readers a year, and she won the prestigious Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer last year, while her essay "We Have Always Fought: Challenging the Women, Cattle, and Slaves Narrative" was the first-ever blog post to win the Hugo Award for Best Related Work. In May 2015, she wrote an article for the Atlantic about the most recent political controversy in science-fiction fandom that reached #3 Most Popular on their site (http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/04/the-culture-wars-come-to-sci-fi/390012/). As geek culture goes mainstream -- from Game of Thrones to the Avengers -- it's never been more important to look at the role women play in it, and the future they're helping to create. And Kameron is the smart, funny, and profane voice we need to guide readers through the world of fandom and the coming revolution in pop culture.
