“the heart of girl-geek culture”
Thanks to the Ladies Home Journal for making She’s Such A Geek one of its four “Books We Love” for December. The Journal says:
The editors of this anthology truly go where no man has gone before: to the heart of girl-geek culture. Real women who work and play in male-dominated fields sound off in this collection, exploring topics that range from science lab sexual awakenings to misogyny at MIT. Their essays, infused with social commentary, are sometimes humorous, often personal, and universally inspiring. One standout essay comes from computer programmer-cum-writer Kory Wells, who learned from her own strong mother to follow her techie calling, regardless of gender conventions. Her evolution from “good for a girl” student to working mother with a smart daughter of her own will resonate with any woman, geek or not.

Ladies Home Journal! That’s fabulous. I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone mentioned in there. Makes me want to pick up a copy, which I very well may do.
