Forgotten Women of Genre: DC Fontana

By Carly Lane

March is Women's History Month. And while we at SYFY FANGRRLS celebrate women's achievements all year long, we're going above and beyond this month with Season 2 of our limited podcast series, Forgotten Women of Genre.

DC Fontana contributed to many of the most iconic genre shows airing in the ‘70s. But perhaps her greatest legacy is her influence on early Star Trek, where she is credited with fleshing out a certain Vulcan science officer we know simply as Spock.

Science fiction, fantasy, and all associated genres have finally evolved from a niche interest into a mainstream staple. But the women who have been instrumental in creating and shaping the nerdverse have largely gone unrecognized. Until today. SYFY FANGRRLS' Forgotten Women of Genre tells the stories of the women who helped some of the most famous fantasy worlds become a reality.

New episodes of Forgotten Women of Genre will be released every weekday in March. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
