The release of Grand Theft Auto IV has brought a lot of attention to the gaming industry and the women who dominate it. Around the world, the number of women gamers online is starting to overtake the number of men. A report by Gamesdog outlines the statistics.

Morgan Webb is a geek who built a sustainable career in gaming. She launched Webb Alert in August 2007 and interacts with her fans and audience on MySpace.

Becky “Aktrez” Young is a pro gamer who has built a big brand around her activity on social networks. She does live broadcasts with her friends on Justin.tv. She is a recurring guest on G4′s The Loop and creator of the Girls Entertainment Network.

One up and coming gamer girl to keep an eye on is Katharine Fletcher. She’s a video blogger from London who can be found on the Channel Flip Network. Fletcher’s the host of Play:Digital.
