Hey all! Fandom observed Women's History Month in March by embracing equity through the lens of women, femme-identifying and non-binary people building the “tables” in industries where they often do not have a seat. We've had various programming from a playlist (listen to it here if you haven't already!) to interviews for women gamers (see here).
With March being over, so did Women's History Month come to an end. That said though, I am going to take liberty to still advertise one last thing in April, as it involved the horror community!
On the final day of Women's History Month, Fandom released a Final Girls Feature! The absolute highlights are:
A Final Girls-inspired playlist with over 100 songs all performed by women and femme-identifying people! From well-known horror soundtracks to bobs giving off that Final Girl "don't mess with me" vibe, the entire playlist itself tells the story of the evolution of a Final Girl: from normal teenager to full-fledged powerhouse seeking to take down the killer by any means necessary (and some close calls with death along the way).
Final Girls: The Trading Cards: a completely unique and newly created Final Girls deck featuring 24 heroines who defied all odds of survival and came out victorious!
Check out this absolute amazing card about Nancy and head over to the blog to find 23 other horror queens!
A dedicated Final Girls Wiki, intended to serve as a home for these amazing women where you can read more about them all in one place. your favorite one has a page!
So head over to the blog and let Mandy and Mike, the two Fandom staff members who are the masterminds behind the trading cards and playlist, know what you think about it all by leaving a comment!
