A review by julesthebookdragon417
The Secret Loves of Geek Girls by Hope Nicholson, Marjorie Liu, Margaret Atwood
4.0
Rounding up from 3.5.
I stumbled across this anthology at a local comic shop. It took me a good 6-12 months to finally pick it up and read it, but I'm ok with that.
This is a collection of essays, artwork, comics, and other assorted media written by female creators of geeky content. These badass ladies come from the worlds of sci-fi, comics, fantasy, spec-fic, and innumerable fandoms, with their interests and voices just as varied. The works touch on topics ranging from love, dating, and relationships, to sexuality, identity, and learning to love yourself. Some are funny, some are though-provoking, some pull on those heartstrings, and all are connected by a thread of women who are passionate about the things they love. I'm not a huge fan of anthologies, usually, but I enjoyed this and will likely come back in a year or two to see which stories ring differently a second time around.
