Editor Jennifer Brozek describes best what this book is about:
We received a review copy, but I did not get far enough to actually cast a verdict, but I enjoyed what I read up to now.Despite the progress made in gender equality in various gaming arenas conventions, online gaming organizations, gaming podcasts and shows, and with professional authors, game designers, and artists - there is still an element that believes "girls don't game" and that "women don't belong in gaming." With this collection of non-fiction essays from both game lovers and industry professionals, I wanted to show the diversity of the women in gaming and the women who love all kinds of games.
The book can be bought at, amongst others at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
