Book synopsis

Practical how-to guides on computers and technology are ubiquitous but many women find them off-putting. They're ugly, geeky, and written for men. While there are plenty of brilliant female geeks, computers and technology are very male fields and women are often left out. How to Be a Geek Goddess tackles technology from a woman's perspective and is designed as a way in for the women who feel marginalized by this very male world. Written in the style of the popular "Girlfriends' Guides," How to Be a Geek Goddess targets women (ages 30+), with coverage of decidedly female-leaning topics like how to get more done in less time; fitting an ugly computer into a lovely living room; shopping for gear (whether a new computer or the latest television); parenting, health and fitness; online communities; and safety. Author Christina Wood writes in a conversational, girls-night-out style, keeping the book honest, and preventing it from morphing into a fake tech book for women.
