Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explain the process that geek women from Guadalajara used to build their models of behavior stemming from the characters and fantasy narratives which belong to the geek culture of Mexico, using a gender perspective. Through the ethnographic method, the most relevant characters for the researched geek women were identified, as well as their characteristics and the models of behavior built by them from their teachings, such as: the model of resilience, the model of empowerment, the model of self-esteem, and the model of autonomy.
