5 Indian Female Gamers Who’re Defeating The Notion That Only Men Are Good At Video Games
When we say that women are not leaving any areas of expertise unexplored, we mean it. For a long time now, Indians have always labeled many jobs or careers only as a prospect for men. However, gradually we are heading towards a change in this mindset as now women are breaking such stereotypical norms. One such field is gaming. Now, I am sure as kids we all have played video games, and honestly, back in the day, it was never really a gender-biased game. However, for some reason, the gaming industry became a male-dominated area, and also because women were not quite encouraged here. But now when this industry is growing rapidly in our country, there are many female gamers as well who are actively adding to this growth. Unfortunately, we are less aware of them and their contributions to becoming role models for many young women who want to pursue gaming.
