SHE’S AWESOME MEME

Fandom, it has often been noted, doesn’t appreciate women enough. Women characters, women writers, actresses, directors... In many cases, it feels like you can wander around fandom and only hear about women through the endless barrage of complaints against uppity female characters and the comments about each other’s bodies.

Rather than belaboring the point or trying to blame another faction of fandom as being ‘worse’ than one’s own-- Show your pride. Show your love. Show us the women you love and the women who have changed your life. Who spins your world right round, baby? Whose writing has changed your life?

The point isn’t to show how much better you are than others, or to make other fans feel bad. There are sharp fans doing good meta that will lead us onto wiser paths. The point of this meme is to spread positivity towards women in fandom, to squee with other fans over your favorite characters, actresses, authors, and musicians, and to look at other people’s lists for new sources of enjoyment.

Answer the following to the best of your memory, with as much detail as you want to, including women from every walk of life that you can think of. If you need to add another category, do so. And yes, transfolk count. ♥
