Women's History Month 2022 Round-up

Women's History Month 2022 Round-up
Board Game: Votes for Women
With March 2022 having ended, I want to give thanks to Chris — a.k.a., iomio — for making the Celebrating Women's History Month — 2022 GeekList a reality.

Chris had contacted me (if I recall correctly) near the end of February 2021 to ask whether I'd be posting profiles of female creators in the game industry in March 2021 for Women's History Month, and I responded that I was burned out and couldn't possibly do so. Prior to covering games full-time, I used to write business profiles for a living, but I would write perhaps one profile a week during that time. Researching and writing a profile every day is a monumental task!

So Chris dove into organizing this project on her own, making a list of profile candidates, contacting them, asking questions, requesting images, and compiling all of this material in online folders that she shared with me in February 2022. I edited this material, added other images, created collages for the BGG front page, and published the profiles daily on the GeekList — but I could do this only thanks to her work, so please give her a round of applause and send all thanks her way.
