2017, Lynda Clark, “Commander Shepard”, in Jaime Banks, Robert Mejia, Aubrie Adams, editors, 100 Greatest Video Game Characters, page 44:Playing as FemShep hints that the game world's claims to gender equality may be overstated.

2021 February 2, Jody Macgregor, “FemShep finally gets her due in Mass Effect Legendary Edition trailer, Jennifer Hale extremely stoked”, in PC Gamer, archived from the original on 03 February 2021:A reveal trailer for Mass Effect Legendary Edition went live several hours ago, and fans have been watching it over and over. As has Jennifer Hale, the voice actor who played the female version of Commander Shepard across all three games, or "FemShep" as the character was dubbed.
Though her performance made FemShep more popular with hardcore fans, the marketing for the original games tended to focus on the default "BroShep", voiced by Mark Meer. Until now. This trailer shows a montage of scenes from across the series, and while BroShep is there—that's him macking on Miranda—there's more screen-time devoted to FemShep.
