mrsdragon's review against another edition

Absolutely fabulous! I purchased this because (a) Catherynne M. Valente and (b) gaming. I got way more than I bargained for. The essays were thoughtful, well written, engaging, fun, and relatable. I learned more about games I knew only by reputation, heard about games I loved, and discovered new ones. All of the women contributing are accomplished and professional--I was surprised by how the average age appeared to skew into the late 30s or early 40s. Many had been playing games for longer than I've been alive. A wonderful collection, well worth the read.

Some of the essays were interesting, and others were so bad I couldn't even finish them. Mostly I enjoyed the essays that gave me glimpses into another nerd-girl's upbringing- how they found gaming and what they liked about it.
