I got to focus on my performance - learning how to perform is something I've been working on both personally and professionally.

It's been really exciting to work on a collaborative, creative team where we got to bounce ideas back and forth and figure out the best one.

I wouldn't call it a silver lining, but with more women speaking up, online harassment is beginning to be taken more seriously.

The gaming industry has been male-dominated ever since its inception.

I came back to this idea of telling the stories of women who aren't in all of the history books. Their names are not up there next to male names that we've know since we were little kids. Ching Shih, for example, was a pirate commander from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. She was one of the most fearsome pirates, why is her name not included when we list the names of great pirates like Blackbeard?

I really wanted to explore a range of women who aren't necessarily perfect, heroic women. I wanted to series to influence creative people to include more women in their work, especially historic works.

My writer and I sat down and wrote a huge list of names of women to consider. It was really important to us to have a broad range of women from across generations and cultures. We didn't want to make it Western-focused, we wanted to make sure it was international and that it had an intersectional lens.
