    Title: Stranger Women
    Author: Clio Chang
    Narrator: Derek Shetterly
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 6 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 08-31-16
    Publisher: New Republic
    Genres: Newspapers & Magazines, News & Culture

    Summary:
    When I first entered the world of Stranger Things, one of my biggest fears was that it would be a huge bro-fest. The ingredients were all there: a sci-fi show written by a pair of brothers - the Duffers - that centered around a group of nerdy boys. Yes, I know it was the 1980s, but nerdy girls who play Dungeons & Dragons do exist. And, in a way, I was right - the series is mostly about a bunch of boys looking for another boy. But to my surprise, it was the women who ended up stealing the show. "Stranger Women" is from newrepublic.com, published on August 26, 2016.
