The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
5.0
I'll provide a more fully annotated review when I am at a computer and can quote passages more effectively. But the short of it is this is a very timely collection of essays that are worth reading. The two that deal with her experiences with the US health care system pre-ACA are chilling for me as I watch the Senate BCRA bill attempt to stay alive until it is passed.
Her essays regarding Gamergate and representation resonate with me as I see women becoming more visible, and angry men on the Internet and in Congress try to put them back in "their place", which in their mind is quiet in the bedroom and/or kitchen, not out in the world making a name for themselves.
Choice quotes to be inserted later, but until then just go read this collection of essays with an open and inquisitive mind. Please, and thank you.
