Borg.com has added a new review for Nana Visitor‘s “Star Trek: Open a Channel: A Woman’s Trek”:
For literally decades trading card series have highlighted the diversity of the women characters in the Star Trek franchise via Women of Star Trek cards. The key champion of the subject has always been the groundbreaking Nichelle Nichols, who via speeches, books, and in-person events shared what it meant being the first woman of color in the main cast of a major TV series as Lieutenant Uhura. She would recount to anyone who asked her the conversation she had with Martin Luther King, Jr. when she considered leaving the series, and he encouraged her to stay–she had not yet realized the impact she had. But nobody has really looked at what it means to portray women in Star Trek, both behind the scenes as actors and writers, and in front as heroines, really exploring every aspect of the human condition.
