Lit and Scribbles with Jae 
Have always loved Lara Croft!! How can you not? As a female gamer, you gotta love how she kicks @ss!! Before her, way back with PC gaming, there was The Dagger of Amon Ra, Sierra games. It had a great female lead, Laura Bow. It was short lived though and I was left waiting for the sequel. But then came Tomb Raider. Great post Jae!
Thanks! Yep, Lara rocks. I’m grateful for a good reboot. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
Great guest post! The lack of strong female characters in gaming is related to the problem of few female role models in literature, including children’s literature, movies, and toys. It’s not enough that we have Lara Croft. We need more. It’d be nice if we had more in real life too, such as in higher levels of government.
I think we’re making great progress. Fortunately the up and coming generations are used to seeing more powerful women, and if we keep demanding more, we’ll see more. I’m hopeful for the future. 🙂
I’m terrible at video games, so I don’t play them often…it’s a vicious cycle, now that I think about it… 😉 But I love that they’ve rebooted Lara Croft, allowing her to wear clothing I think the character would actually have chosen.
Nice guest post!
Thanks! Yeah, I’m glad the booty shorts disappeared. Hopefully they stay gone.
