      abstract = {This book follows the ways in which women negotiate and  navigate between their feminist identities and their  belonging to science fiction fandoms that at times  disregard or dismiss them. 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.},
