Titled "Her Eternal Moonlight," the book explores the lives of over 30 North American female fans, what Sailor Moon meant to them, and how it changed them.  What emerges from this unauthorized examination is a remarkable story of a modern fairy tale that inspired and affected women to this day, and whose influences are wider than they seem.

• A techno-cultural combination - A show unlike others, arriving as the Internet became a prominent part of a wider fandom, meant Sailor Moon's fans had an experience that was unlike many that came before.
• A source of inspiration - How a surprisingly beloved show led people to new creativity, experience, and careers.
