Whether it's the famous chords of a theme song or the ominous sound of Vader's breath, the geekverse as we know it wouldn't exist without the work or ingenuity of many women who sadly didn't become household names. Throughout each episode of Forgotten Women of Genre we bring you the stories of the women who's contributions to genre are responsible for the characters and stories we all know and love; because behind every famous man in genre is at least one woman who didn't get the credit she deserved.
She was a cinematic innovator who pioneered feminist film and theater in Britain during the 1960s. Her radical approach to storytelling helped to pave the way for generations of female directors and writers. She made waves on television, forced audiences to confront the reality of mental illness, and became one of the first women to direct a science-fiction film. Sadly, you've probably never heard of her until today. This is the story of Jane Arden.
