This biography compilation is more than what it sounds like – with biography side quests and a clear theme that can be read as a story or as individual biographies. We love the creative stories introducing us to the female minds behind the gaming industry. This book shows the many ways that girls can be game developers, and that is truly mathical. – Johanna Cinquegrana, Mathical Selection Committee
Women have always made video games, from the 1960s and the first-of-its-kind, projector-based Sumerian Game to the blockbuster Uncharted games that defined the early 2000s. Women have been behind the writing, design, scores, and engines that power one of the most influential industries out there. In Gamer Girls, now you can explore the stories of 25 of those women. Bursting with bold artwork, easy-to-read profiles, and real-life stories of the women working on games like Centipede, Final Fantasy, Halo, and more, this dynamic illustrated book shows what a huge role women have played—and will continue to play—in the creation of video games.
