This is the beginning so let's start at the very beginning: The Original Series. The series that started a phenomenon promised to ‘boldly go where no man has gone before’, and for better or worse it went there with style and a whole suitcase full of sexism- so we have to ask: does its idealistic message justify the means?
Get to know Amber and Paige as they begin what will hopefully be a five year voyage into female themes and topics in Star Trek. This week the ladies introduce themselves and discuss what they love about this beloved world.
Welcome to Resistance Is Female! Join Paige and Amber as they delve into one of the most complex, long spanning universes on television. Every other Monday, they explore elements in Star Trek from a female point of view.

About Resistance Is Female
From the publisher's feed
Despite repeated protestations by the Borg, Resistance is NOT futile, but it IS often female.
Engage with us as we explore the women of Star Trek through the eyes of women. The good, the bad, and the ugly, we’ll tackle sexism, representation, hitting glass ceilings head on, and sometimes even breaking them, in a quest to dive deep into the less than perfect aspects of a world we love.
We’ll be releasing episodes every Monday and each episode will fall into a thematic arc. Through these arcs we will cover topics such as machismo, parity, and even sartorial choices.
Each episode, Paige and Amber will pull from the entire Star Trek canon for our discussions, sometimes focusing on an individual series or movie, sometimes flitting through the timeline.
Join us on this voyage where few women’s voices have been heard before.
