Competitive Women
These sites feature women who are professional video game players. PMS Clan is a supportive network for women who compete in video game tournaments and The Frag Dolls is a group supported and run by a game company (Ubisoft). The Frag Dolls only compete on Ubisoft games. All of these women compete in First Person Shooter games and they are some of the best players in the world. Both groups also compete in some tournaments where the women work together as a team. The women in both of these organizations are extremely accessible and are happy to answer questions and support girls who have an interest in what they do.
