Companion Piece table of contents!

The table of contents has been released for Mad Norwegian's upcoming Doctor Who essay collection, Companion Piece: Women Celebrate the Humans, Aliens and Tin Dogs of Doctor Who! The book includes essays by Seanan McGuire, Amal El-Mohtar, Mary Robinette Kowal, Tansy Rayner Roberts, and many others. It includes my essay "'I Can Do Your Part If You Can Do Mine': Romana II as the Girl Doctor." I'm looking forward to reading the whole collection!
