Fabrizia, Lorena, and Tiziana will share their in-depth perspective on the role of women in the video game industry, enriching the cultural debate with their experiences and expertise.

The book highlights decades of female contributions that have shaped the evolution of gaming, challenging stereotypes and paving the way for greater inclusivity. Through a journey that starts from the early pioneers of the video game industry to contemporary digital heroines, the work examines the evolution of female roles, analyzing how narrative and cultural paradigms have changed in gaming. With detailed case studies, the book explores stories of women who have defied conventions, bringing innovation and unique perspectives to the industry, without neglecting the complexities related to discrimination that still exist. Special attention is given to streamers, pro players, and inclusive development teams, highlighting the potential of a more fair and representative gaming culture.
