Bol Nana Visitor, Star Trek’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. "Nana Visitor, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. Interviews—with the stars, writers, producers, and audience members from all walks of life, including a politician and an astronaut—highlight the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere. The groundbreaking casting of Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura in 1966 was a paradigm shift for women and people of color. Pioneering is no picnic, and she planned to leave the show until none other than the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. contextualized her appearance in people’s living rooms across America as a way for people of color to know they were indeed an important part of the future. Since then, each Star Trek show has both reflected the values of its time and imagined a future of equality. In her first book, Open a Channel: A Woman’s Trek, Nana Visitor sets out to discover both how Star Trek led the way for women, and how each show was trapped in its own era. For Visitor, this is more than a book about Star Trek. It’s also about how society and the stories we tell have evolved in the last sixty years, and how the role of women has changed in that time. STAR AUTHOR: Written by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Nana Visitor, famous for playing Major Kira Nerys. This is both her story and her journey through the stories of other women involved with Star Trek from the 1960s to the 21st century. EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS: Features interviews with more than a dozen women who starred in Star Trek, including Kate Mulgrew, Sonequa Martin-Green, Terry Farrell, Gates McFadden, Denise Crosby, Tawny Newsome, and Jess Bush. INSPIRING STORIES: Explore how Star Trek has influenced women in the real world, including soldiers, scientists, and even astronauts. For the book, author Nana Visitor visited ESA HQ and interviewed astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti while she was in orbit around Earth on the International Space Station. PIONEERING SERIES: Following the humanistic tenets of creator Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek, throughout the decades, led the way in promoting diversity. Youths who grew up with Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, for example, not only learned to accept a woman as a leader but were also able to expand what they could imagine for themselves. The book makes clear how important storytelling is, and how the storytelling of Star Trek has had a profound effect on its audience." Nana Visitor on how Star Trek led the way for women, and where it stayed stuck in its own era. When Nichelle Nichols was cast as Lt. Uhura in 1966, she carried women and people of colour into an imagined future, in a miniskirt, because it was still the 1960s. In her first book, the Deep Space Nine star best known as Major Kira Nerys looks at how every Star Trek series since has reflected the values of its time while picturing a future of equals. She talks to more than a dozen women who starred in the franchise, including Kate Mulgrew, Terry Farrell, Denise Crosby, Tawny Newsome and Sonequa Martin-Green, and to the soldiers, scientists and astronauts the show inspired. For the book she visited ESA headquarters and interviewed astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti while she was in orbit on the International Space Station.

A brilliant gift for any Trek fan, and for anyone interested in women on both sides of the camera. Written by Deep Space Nine star Nana Visitor Interviews with more than a dozen women from Star Trek Real-world stories, including an interview from the International Space Station Look out for more from the final frontier, including Star Trek: Designing the Final Frontier.
