Episode 33: Ladies of Fandom Legacy with Legion of Leia founder Jenna Busch

Your Biggest Fangirl Podcast

You may know Jenna Busch best as the founder of the website Legion of Leia, as an entertainment journalist, author, or as a speaker at some of the largest cons around the country. This week on Your Biggest Fangirl she sat down with us to discuss the trailblazing ladies in sci-fi and fandom. Jenna walks us through the evolution of female characters in fandom such as Leia Organa and Wonder Woman, what we’re still craving from the ladies we watch on screen and what we hope to see with female representation in the future! We take a look at value of examining female characters and fandom in addition to reconciling nostalgic but problematic women in fandom. Jenna shares all of her finest moments of fangirling, including what she learned from working with the legend Stan Lee, as well as her inspiration for founding the Legion of Leia.
