A review by bookdingo
The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley

5.0

"I am a grim optimist, and this is my hope for you: that you will be louder than me, and stronger than me, and more powerful than me, and that you will look back at me as a relic, a dinosaur, as the minor villain in your own story, the rock you pushed against in your own flight to fame, to notoriety, to revolution. That is my wish for you."

If a book of essays concerning Hurley's biographical experiences along with her bold actions to diversify science fiction and fantasy sound a bit overwhelming to you, then you at least need to read her Hugo-award winning essay, "We Have Always Fought" (available here: http://aidanmoher.com/blog/featured-article/2013/05/we-have-always-fought-challenging-the-women-cattle-and-slaves-narrative-by-kameron-hurley/).
