First Person Feminist

New for new years is my latest book First Person Feminist. Unlike my other game guide books this one isn’t a c

ollection of game reviews. Its a humorus look at the difference between the men and women that play video games. There are discussions of sex, gender, and having fun. Here’s a sample…

From reading, and talking with so many female gamers I have gotten the impression that women have a very different game experience than males do. I set out to see if I was right. In that search to discover what would make more girls and women more interested in playing video games, I’ve come up with a few points so far. I’ve been a writer and been an editor, and even an editor in chief, for many game websites and a few magazines too. I’m the editor in chief now of my own website.

I was an author before I came to video games journalism. Most recently I have been writing an annual guide to gaming called Geek Woman’s Game Guides. In addition to reviewing games I interview developers and gamers, and report on games news. I read blogs, and articles by female gamers all day long. I’ve done that every day for five years. I dig and dig. My informal research is done by actually playing games and talking to the women who that play them and the women that have made them. I go after people in the industry and their handlers and I ask them questions. And for some mysterious reason – people like to talk to me.

Geek Woman Speaks

I'm your target market, your worst nightmare, a woman with a video game. I'm a late boomer, a first person feminist, I'm the MIlF that hates on Microsoft, and the cold calculating Cougar who enjoys a good snipe. I'm the geek woman upon whose apron strings little boys dreams are made of. Move me technology, make me and my readers want to open up our purse and whip out our wallets.

I'm Geek Woman, a freelance video games journalist and author. Please buy my book First Person Feminist, by clicking the Book Tab above. I write honest game reviews and editorials. I interview women in the games industry, female gamer clans, and gamers. I provide articles about women in video games, as well as technology and gadgets.
