This book follows the ways in which women negotiate and navigate
between their feminist identities and their belonging to science
fiction fandoms that at times disregard or dismiss them. It
explores frictions and discords, including those between feminist
women fans and other members in their communities, and between the
fan and the object of her fandom. This book examines the
intersection of fandom and feminism through the lenses of gender,
ethnicity and age, and provides an in-depth and intersectional
perspective on fan communities and the layered discrimination and
marginalization enfolded in them. Based on 40 in-depth interviews
with women fans of Star Wars and Doctor Who, this book highlights
the different aspects of a feminist woman fan's identity: becoming,
being, belonging, representing, and reconciling. Each chapter in
this book unravels the complexity, ambivalence, and contradictions
between feminism and fandom, and reveals the tactics women develop
to overcome and harmonize them.
