From Bjo Trimble To Starwarschicks Posted By Dustin on April 12, 2007
Media stereotypes of Star Wars and Star Trek fans are ubiquitous. One of those is the myth that men, not women, are fans of these genres. Sociologist John Tenuto studied 8000 science fiction fans this autumn and the study challenges most of these stereotypes. One of these is the myth that men, not women, are fans of Star Wars or Star Trek. Actually, female fans are more active with their fan experiences than males. "From Bjo Trimble to Starwarschicks: Female Fans of Star Trek and Star Wars" is a presentation that discusses the history of women as fans and the modern experiences of Star Wars and Star Trek female fans. For more information, please click here or call Tenuto at 847-543-2537. If you wish to attend only this talk and not the entire conference, there is a nominal fee rather than the conference registration cost. The proceeds benefit the College of Lake County Women's Center.

I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
