Abstract

Thomas A. Herrig traces the development of the roles of women in the six Star Trek series as well as the last motion picture and compares these to the actual achievements of feminist historiography. While the compilation of the rendering of female characters in Star Trek, which might at the very least be enlightening for new fans of the Star Trek universe, is successful, the work lacks a profound analysis and interpretation within the context of feminist theories. In summary, it can be said that Star Trek fans will not learn anything new, and feminists most certainly won’t!
