What do Amy Poehler, Bjork, Felicia Day, Martha Stewart, Miranda July, and Zooey Deschanel have in common? They’re just a few of the amazing women proving that “geek” is no longer a four-letter word.
In recent years, male geeks have taken the world by storm. But what about their female counterparts? After all, fangirls are just like fanboys—they put on their Imperial Stormtrooper Lycra pants one leg at a time.
Geek Girls Unite is a call to arms for every girl who has ever obsessed over music, comics, film, comedy, books, crafts, fashion, or anything else under the Death Star. Music geek girl Leslie Simon offers an overview of the geek elite by covering groundbreaking women, hall-of-famers, ultimate love matches, and potential frenemies, along with her top picks for playlists, books, movies, and websites. This smart and hilarious tour through girl geekdom is a must-have for any woman who has ever wondered where her sassy rebel sisters have been hiding.

Citaten

  • Kooswardini Wulandariciteerde uit7 jaar geleden
    People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.”

    “People ask me, ‘How can you be making movies about men? When you’re, you know, a woman.’ I recently read that [director] Mike Leigh gets the same kind of question about making movies about women. He gets really pissy and says, ‘I make movies about people.’ And that’s a perfect answer. There’s this theory of multiple intelligences, and I may not be smart on many of the others, but my emotional intelligence is pretty high up there. I’ve always been a close observer of human beings and what makes them tick, regardless of gender.”

    For this reason, film geek girls have a tendency to be hyper self-aware, which can often lead to thoughts like, “Am I normal?” “What is normal?” “Do I even want to be normal?” Not only can such internal dialogues drive a girl into existential overload, but long-winded discussions with oneself can be utterly exhausting. It’s no wonder that, at the end of the day, these she-geeks prefer to silence the voices by escaping into someone else’s world for eighty-eight minutes. Sometimes our armchair artistes feel safer as a visitor in a foreign cinematic land than as an active participant in their own reality. Hell, real life can be scary. When you have something to say, you can’t always find the perfect words, and when you want to take a risk, you can’t always work up the nerve. That’s why watching films can also be cathartic for our she-geeks; they can watch their onscreen counterparts do and say all the things they wish they could in real life.
