The followup to Feminist Frequency’s pioneering video series on the representation of women in videogames, Ordinary Women: Daring to Defy History is a new series about women through history who defied stereotypes to change the world. Raising over $200,000 from 3,774 supporters on Seed & Spark, each episode features original animation with a different visual style inspired by the woman at its center. We’re thrilled that director and host Anita Sarkeesian, producer Elisabeth Aultman, and writer Laura Hudson are premiering the series at XOXO for the first time.
