There is a great difficulty in getting girls interested in such games. Very few are written for that market. Social and societal issues are now making themselves felt. Women's views and women's perceptions are extremely important in that regard. Any society where decision-making is men only or women only is an imbalanced process.
Women tend to network better.
They listen better. They look at things from a more holistic way. Those women who have already been successful in the context of the Internet, for example who have a business online, that gives them an ability to encourage and to mentor other women. I'm hoping that that will be one of the outcomes of the women's meeting at INET99. Those of us who will be in that room represent a kernel of people who have an obvious capability to mentor and to help others who haven't made that step yet.
