One of the things I will be forever thankful for from White Wolf is that it showed that gaming is for everyone. Men, Women, diverse gender fluidity and sexual identities.
Yes D&D opened with Women in Gaming years before, but the approach was well...70s and 80s at best. D&D is doing better these days, but if watching the battles our younger cousins over in video gaming are having then we still have a way to go yet.
To that end we have a new Kickstarter with just 3 days to go.
Girls on Games: A Look at the Fairer Side of the Industry

It doesn't matter to me what your gender politics or your position on feminism is.
ANYTHING that make our hobby more inviting and inclusive is a good thing.
Plus, and here is the important bit, women still make the household buy choices in nearly all families (anywhere from 70% to 90%, Google it) and getting women into games gets the next generation into games.
So check out this Kickstarter and through some cash their way.

@ Tim:
I have yet to ever back a kickstarted project. This one I might, just so I can get a copy of the book.
I've been waiting to see something like this for a while...thanks for hipping us to it.
