REVIEW: Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors

October 26, 2011September 19, 2015 Fangirl feminism, GeekGirlCon, Heroine's Journey, Jennifer Stuller, Oh You Sexy Geek!, review, Storytelling, writing

As I prepared my review of Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors: Superwomen in Modern Mythology by Jennifer K. Stuller, I found myself jotting down some comments about fandom, feminism, and storytelling that I wanted to share in the introductory blog post. Some turned into more – then a lot, and I reconsidered how to present all the ideas the book had inspired for me. So I’m keeping today’s post short; I don’t want a voluminous blog with my own commentary to overshadow how important Stuller’s book is.

SEEKING SFH – Mara Jade Skywalker in the Star Wars EU

October 3, 2011January 12, 2017 Fangirl EU, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, Seeking Strong Female Heroines, Star Wars, Tim Zahn

Seeking SFH is a series highlighting stories with Strong Female Heroines. These are great reads with a heroic female character who is relatable to women. There is a lot of nuance to my opinion, which would take volumes to summarize, but a second good example from the Star Wars Expanded Universe is a character who epitomizes this notion: Mara Jade.
