Women in Gaming

Overview

Women are finding careers behind the scenes as producers, designers and even CEOs of gaming companies. But their rise to the top hasn't always been easy. These eight women--Sherry McKenna, Elaine Hodgson, Caroline Esmurdoc, Patricia Pizer, Amy Farris, Beth Llewelyn, Felice Standifer and Kathy Vrabeck--share their stories, from being asked to serve coffee to sharing a restroom. And more than ever, women are going online. The popularity of massively multiplayer online games like EverQuest are attracting more women gamers. As the gaming industry grows, so do opportunities for women.
