Hello my lovely Geek Girls, Guys, and People Who Identify as Intersex or Other-Wise Non-Binary. We have a format change here on Geek Girl in Love because to my great delight the amazing Sarah Wendell at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books has asked me to write a monthly column for her about real-life women in history.
The only problem with this delightful development is that I don’t actually have time, in between reviewing shows and books and raising my kid and trying to round up freelance projects, to write multiple columns a month on amazing people in history, much as I’d like to. So once a month I’ll be sharing a link to Kickass Women of History at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.
This month’s Kickass Woman is Su Sanniang. She was a Robin Hood style bandit who became a general during the Taiping Rebellion. She was said to have “powerful arms and the air of a hero.” My kind of woman! Click on the link above to learn more about her, or go to smartbitchestrashybooks.com.
As long as I get my regular Geek Girl fix, I don’t care where I get redirected. 🙂
