Behind some of the most popular works of science fiction, fantasy,
and horror there are forgotten stories of female creators. It's no
secret that genres like science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more,
have evolved from niche interest to mainstream staple in the last
few decades. However, the countless women who have been
instrumental in creating and shaping those genres for the last
fifty-plus years have largely gone largely unrecognized -- until
now. Pop Culture Pioneers explores and pays respect to the work and
influence of the female creators who played a crucial role in
creating and influencing of some of the most famous worlds and
characters in pop culture from the early 70s through to 2010
including: * Creators like Bonnie Erickson (co-creator of Miss
Piggy), Christy Marx (Jem! And The Holograms creator), Roberta
Williams (creator of the adventure game genre), and Betty Cohen
(founder of Cartoon Network) * Writers & Editors like Jeanette
Khan (head of DC Comics), Alice Bradley Sheldon (writing as James
Tiptree Jr.) and Malia Scotch Marno (screenwriter for Jurassic Park
and Hook) * Animators & Artists like Vicky Jenson (animator and
director of Shrek) and Brenda Chapman (animator and director of
Brave) * Directors & Producers like Jean MacCurdy (producer of
Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs), Denise Di Novi
(co-producer of Batman Returns and The Nightmare Before Christmas),
and Fran Walsh (co-producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy) * As
well as Yvonne Blake (costume designer for Superman), Marlene Clark
(Blaxploitation actress), Jane Feinberg (casting director for Blade
Runner, E.T., The Goonies, and Indiana Jones), and so many more!
