The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
3.0
There were some of these essays that I thought were very well thought out and made some excellent points.
And being a very big science fiction and fantasy fan, I liked her descriptions of the efforts she brings to creating interesting and unique characters. Because one of the things I like about these genres is they have always been a place I could find the heroines I wanted to read about.
There were other essays that came across as ranting, and I do get it, the author is angry and needs to vent. I've just never been that comfortable with anger, not my own or others. So these ones were less interesting for me.
I liked the book, though I thought it was more about the authors geek feminist outlook & life, rather than about an actual revolution.
