"The Rise of the Geek Girl"
by Jennifer Harlow

I am a geek girl. I have always been a geek girl. I blame my parents and their
Doctor Who, Star Trek, Tolkien ways. No
My Little Pony or
Care Bears for this girl. I grew up watching
The Real Ghostbusters, She-Ra Princess of Power and
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I wanted to marry Jack Nicholson’s The Joker at age six and even learned how to crack a literal whip after watching Michelle Pfieffer do it in
Batman Returns. I named my cat Remy LeBeau after X-Men’s Gambit. At present I have about a thousand comic books, two dozen action figures, and too many trading cards to count in my parent’s basement. In high school I wore graphic t-shirts with the likes of Wonder Woman and The Bride of Frankenstein proudly on my chest. I even went to Comic Con when the only people there were comic book sellers. The only geek box I cannot check off is I’ve never played
Dungeons & Dragons mostly because no one ever invited me to. Yes, I am a geek girl. A pioneer geek girl. And the struggle was worth it.
