Forgotten Women of Genre

Whether it's the famous chords of a theme song or the ominous sound of Vader's breath, the geekverse as we know it wouldn't exist without the work or ingenuity of many women who sadly didn't become household names. Throughout each episode of Forgotten Women of Genre we bring you the stories of the women who's contributions to genre are responsible for the characters and stories we all know and love; because behind every famous man in genre is at least one woman who didn't get the credit she deserved.

    Down with the patriarchy
    I love Forgotten Women of Genre as a series on Strong Female Characters and am so excited that it has its own podcast now!! I know the patriarchy is garbage and hates women getting attention/praise, but I didn’t realize how many important women were shoved into the background without getting much or any credit for their work. I can’t wait to learn more about women that helped shape the nerdverse as we know it today and give them the recognition they deserve!
