Calendar Ordering Options

 

The Women of Valour calendar is designed to highlight women interested in allegedly male-dominated genres.  The title is taken from a proverb whose first line is “A woman of valour, who can find? Far beyond pearls is her value.”  - Proverbs 31:10

At the end of this proverb, it states, “False is grace, and vain is beauty… Give her the fruit of her hands, and she will be praised at the gates by her very own deeds.” – Proverbs 31:30-31

The women in this calendar are not just beautiful.  They are driven, opinionated, and generous.  They were invited to participate because of their personalities, accomplishments, and passion.  We hope that, in a small way, this effort encourages people to consider the minds behind the pretty faces, and to see women, girls, and especially girl geeks, as whole, complex, people.
The concepts for the shots were developed through co-operation between men and women, and the calendar was coordinated by award-winning science-fiction author Derwin Mak.
