[DS9forever]

Nana Visitor is writing a book on the role and depiction of woman throughout Star Trek's long history. Hero Collector are publishing and the book is expected to be published late next year.

Oh, that sounds interesting. Thanks.

I'm definitely interested.

Can't wait! I recently started following her on Instagram and it's like having a lovely old hippy aunt in your feed telling you how to relax your energies every day. She's a treasure.

This sounds great! Thank you for letting us know!

I watched the video with Nana Visitor on Star trek.com talking about her book. I think this is fantastic news.

Right? She's awesome.

Maybe this might inspire Visitor to write a DS9 novel featuring Kira like Shatner did with the Reeves-Stevens for Kirk. I can dream.

Super neat, anyone know when this will be up for pre-order?

I don't know that anyone knows yet, but since it's not coming out until late 2022, it will probably be a while yet.

It seems the link in the OP no longer works, so here's the updated link for the announcement page:

"Titled A Woman's Trek, Visitor, who is synonymous with the ST fanbase for her time on the show, promises to delve into some of the franchise's most pressing issues when it comes to the women of the sci-fi world."

I hope the copy editing on Hero Collector books is better than that on their web site. What is even going on there? Is Visitor titled A Woman's Trek? Is Visitor really "synonymous" with the fanbase?

"You can check out her announcement video message, first made public on Star Trek dot com, which was made public during last week's Star trek Day, to learn about her passion project coming to fruition right HERE."

She's...synonymous with the fanbase...?

The OP should post this in the 2022 book thread.

Great actress and great human being.

I trust Nana Visitor to put out a good book, and there hasn't been enough focus on women in Star Trek over 55 years. Even now, there are only, finally, enough women in Star Trek, being written occasionally enough by women, and only "some" men in the fandom are sending death threats over it.

I am so thoroughly looking forward to this book, and can't wait to read it and discuss it respectfully on this board and in YouTube comments.

Looks like this will be a documentary too, from the makers of the DS9 & VGR docs.

Found this advertised on Amazon, authored by Nana Visitor and reportedly coming out in September from Hero Collector.

Anyone else heard anything more definitive?

Nana Visitor had a video interview on Star Trek.com talking about it a few weeks ago.
