12:15 – 1:15 PM. Panel: Women In [Everything]: Intersectional Feminism Across Genres (Room 1A18)
Representation matters, whether you’re reading a comic book, playing a video game, watching a superhero movie, or reading a YA fantasy novel. The world of genre fiction across platforms has always been ahead of the curve in its representation. But how are we doing today? And is one area lagging behind another? Join the panel of experts from publishing, comics, games, and film, including Charlie Jane Anders (The City in the Middle of the Night), to discuss how women are being represented in nerdy media of all kinds.
