Geek Girls Unite: How Fangirls, Bookworms, Indie Chicks, and Other

In recent years, male geeks have taken the world by storm: They've become unexpected sex symbols. (Seth Rogen and Michael Cera?) They've penned pieces of literary brilliance. (Rest in peace, David Foster Wallace.) They've even reinvented the art of modern cinema. (Kudos, Coen brothers!) 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.
GIRL GEEKS UNITE is a call to arms for every girl who has ever wondered where her rebel sisters have gone. It's also a sassy, savvy celebration of all the female misfits who are busy bucking convention and making the world a smarter, better, and, yes, cooler place. Each chapter is dedicated to a cross-section of the geek elite -- fangirls, indie-rock chicks, bookworms, craft mavens, funny girls, film buffs, and others -- and looks at groundbreaking women, geek hall-of-famers, ultimate love matches, and most likely frenemies. Along with fun quizzes, illustrations, and trivia boxes, each group also gets tailored recommendations for playlists, books, movies, and websites.
Fun, funny, and ultimately empowering, this is the perfect book for any woman, from teenager to grandmother, who's ever felt like she's on the outside looking in.
