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 fans 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. Neta Yodovich is a postdoctoral researcher who is currently studying cultural policy in a research project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 framework. She completed her PhD in Sociology at the University of Manchester. Her PhD research on feminist women fans serves as the basis for this book. She has previously published peer-reviewed journal articles about women fans, gamers, and representations of singlehood in popular culture in Sociology, Feminist Media Studies, Games and Culture, Womens Studies in Communication, and the European Journal of Womens Studies.
