Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second US president and there are letters from her to John while he was away at the Constitutional Congress asking him to "remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice or Representation."
Of course, he and the rest of the men did forget the women. I am sure they wondered what the fuss was about when they came back home and told their wives who had fought for independence as well.
That is what I feel like when I write about the video game industry. I keep shouting that they shouldn't forget the women and when they do they wonder what all my shouting is about.
It's frustrating.
