Boys are knights and girls are princesses in need of rescue. Lots of books, movies and other types of media can be summed up this way. But what happens when girls want to be knights? Or knights and princesses at the same time? As Leia from Star Wars shows, the latter is actually possible. She is a princess, expert markswoman, politician and military commander all at the same time! Not only Leia: the gigantic universe of Star Wars is actually filled with positive female role models for the Leias of tomorrow!

Star Wars – Women of the Galaxy highlights 75 female characters from the movies, comics, books and video games to prove that women can be far more than arm candy for Luke or Han. Each character is introduced and cram-packed with background information, biographical data and tidbits for fans of the epic saga, accompanied by artwork specifically created for this book. All in all, over 100 illustrations by female and non-binary artists are included.
