An anorak queen is the female authority on an obscure subject — the woman in the railway forum who everyone defers to, the girl in the astronomy club who casually corrects the men, the woman who has more knowledge of vintage synthesiser circuits than anyone else in the room. In spaces that have historically skewed male, the anorak queen stands out not just for her expertise but for the ease with which she commands it. The title reclaims the nerd archetype from its blokish associations and points out that obsessive passion has never been gendered, even when the spaces around it have been.
She knows every production variant of that locomotive class — absolute anorak queen.
