Why did we decide to do this project?
We are all passionate about feminism and women's rights, but were also feeling frustrated with the lack of knowledge of amazing women in
history who either made huge contributions to society or broke barriers.
Often times, history textbooks or schools graze over important women.
We learned a lot through research for this project, and felt so surprised and upset to not have seen or heard pf all of the amazing things that women have done over time.
Also, we wanted our website to cater to all ages and genders, so we made a game with different avatars and short, readable bios. Video games rarely have positive female role models,
and when they do have women, they are often objectified or not "the better characters". Games have made strides towards improving this today, but we wanted to be able to our own game that has a story
and helps you learn while playing with historical women.
