The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
5.0
This book is my mantra. My spirit animal. My patronus. It feels like a bit of my soul put into words.
It's a frank, unabashed, and passionate collection of essays on being a woman in geekdom—traditionally considered an overwhelmingly male environment—on being a feminist in the twenty-tens, and on dedicating yourself to something you love and care about so much you see it through trials after struggles after failures to success.
In a world of Brexit, of Trump, of the alt-right white nationalists, of post-truth—this book has rejuvenated in me the spirit to fight. To uphold my values. To protect my rights. To hold America, and the world, to the standard to which it should be held, and to never back down.
An absolute must-read.
