“Chicks Dig Gaming” is an anthology of nonfiction essays celebrating women’s love for and contributions to the gaming industry. The collection has been nominated for a 2015 ENnie Award—essentially the People’s Choice Awards of gaming! 

Rosemary Jones, whose essay “Nellie Bly, A Chick Who Gamed and Won” is included in the anthology, urges everyone to ask their local library or public school to pick up “Chicks Dig Gaming.” She mentioned that the copies she donated to her school libraries were beloved by librarians who were happy to have the book on hand for girls who were interested in game design.
