A study of the worldwide community of fans of Star Trek and other genre television series who create and distribute fiction and art based on their favorite series. This community i ncludes people from all walks of life--housewives, librarians, se cretaries, and professors of medieval literature. Ninety percent of its members are women. Editorial Reviews Review Enterprising Women offers a picture of one of the few models around for femal e community and self-affirmation. Rather than accepting the passi ve female images and consumer values purveyed by most TV shows, w omen fan-fiction writers have adapted television to their own pur poses. ? Women's Review of Books Bacon-Smith's many years of ski llful ethnographic research and lucid prose help nonfans understa nd the cultural and theoretical significance of the fan-produced fiction, artwork, and social relations that make fandom so cohesi ve and critically essential to its members. . . . Both males and females in communications, sociology, ethnography, psychology, an d women's studies will benefit from this fine book. ? Choice
