BücherAngebote / Angebote:
Star Trek, from the beginning, has empowered women, creating feminist icons. Deep Space Nine's Nana Visitor looks at how - and the enduring, ongoing impact.Nana Visitor played Major Kira Nerys on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, evolving her into one of the franchise's - and pop-culture history's - most formidable female characters. But Visitor wasn't first, other Star Trek actresses paved the way. In the new book, A Woman's Trek, Visitor speaks with and pays tribute to those who came before her. "Fifty-five years ago, Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura took women and people of color into a newly imagined future, " Visitor says. "But she did it in a mini-skirt. It was still 1966 after all. Each Star Trek show both reflected the culture of its time and imagined a more equitable future. How much did we lead the culture into imagining new roles for women? How much did the culture shape us? I'm going to ask these questions to every woman I can. Women on camera, behind the camera, behind the scenes, behind the men, even, and the women we inspired to imagine more for themselves. I want to talk to them all and see what it says about us and about them." In Star Trek: A Woman's Trek, Nana interviews a diverse collection of Star Trek actors, Star Trek Writers, and other notable people such as Stacey Abrams, Seth McFarlane, and astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti.
