OK, I admit it. I am an unrepentant nerd of the middle aged female variety. Yes, we exist, and we may even have something to tell the rest of you mainstream folks.
What Can Science Fiction Tell You?
Even if you would never admit to watching a Star Trek episode, you may have to admit that Captain Janeway of Voyager does give us all something to look forward too. In Being Captain Janeway, the author presents us with an image of a role model of a strong and able, post-feminist leader.
At its best, science fiction has always contained commentaries on present day society. It may contain fears about the future, or sometimes, it may contain a vision for the future.
Here's to the little bit of Catherine Janeway in all of us. :)
