Today’s mail brought the news that Viz Media has canceled Shojo Beat. “Why is Naruto on the cover ?” I asked, and my partner handed me the letter with the bad news. Shōjo is the Japanese word for a “young girl”.  In english it is romanized as shojo.  Shojo Beat Magazine offered monthly insights into [...]

    I'm your target market, your worst nightmare, a woman with a video game. I'm a late boomer, a first person feminist, I'm the MIlF that hates on Microsoft, and the cold calculating Cougar who enjoys a good snipe. I'm the geek woman upon whose apron strings little boys dreams are made of. Move me technology, make me and my readers want to open up our purse and whip out our wallets.


    I'm Geek Woman, a freelance video games journalist and author. Please buy my book First Person Feminist, by clicking the Book Tab above. I write honest game reviews and editorials.
