Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It by Tara O'Shea, Lynne M. Thomas

4.0

'Chicks Dig Time Lords' is a collection of essays by women who...dig Time Lords. As with any anthology it has stronger and weaker contributors, but for the most part the essays were of a high standard. The main focus seemed to be on personal experiences with Doctor Who rather than critical analysis (although this was still present throughout), which made for interesting reading about fandom, and especially the prominence of women in fandom. It really illustrated how important the show is to a lot of people, and made me think 'so it's not just me' at least a dozen times!

My favourite essay was 'Girl Genius: Nyssa of Traken' by Francesca Coppa, as Nyssa is my favourite companion and does not get nearly enough love as far as I am concerned!
