Our women are adventurous, high-tech, creative, health smart, business savvy, sensuous and beautiful…inside and out!

Women Wise™ started as a pilot project with a computer game and ebook we created especially for women and teen girls. We continued asking women through our survey and in alliance with other organizations, "What would you like to see in the areas of digital entertainment?"

As a result, we’re launching our exciting mobile games using innovative and cutting edge technology. We’ve currently co-developing a gender inclusive on-line game and other entertainment programs including community based teleclasses.

If you're someone who has joined our cause and has supported us in our pilot project or services, thank you. If you’re a new visitor, we look forward to a long, happy relationship. Welcome and join us for our free membership, mobile games, newsletter and other goodies!

The Female Perspective and Games

Women love playing games, including anything from adventure and puzzle games to strategy and RPGs (role playing games). Some industry sources say that at least half of all "gamers" are female when you factor in those who play on-line games and gender-neutral games like cards, trivia or backgammon.

Our background in game development, product research, and work with our Focus Panel reminds us how and why women can be very different than the male gender in using digital technology, or interacting with game and interface design issues.

In our programs we take the basic elements of good game design and expand upon it with a female friendly point of view.

The Women Wise™ line-up of products is a reflection of what women have been telling us, and what men have also indicated, would be great titles to enjoy. Some are pure fantasy - an escape from busy, demanding lifestyles. Others reflect your interests, dreams, and passions. Topic areas include wellness issues, spirituality, sports, women's business, and creativity.

Our titles are created with the help of content experts who are specialists in their professions. Corporate sponsors interested in helping underwrite some of our specially designed programs for teen girls and women are invited to contact us.

Philosophy

Research tells us more than 50 percent of on-line users are women. At work, 75 percent of women use the Internet. Women lead as Internet shoppers. Women with $80,000 household incomes use the Internet a total of 6.8 hours per week, and purchases 48 percent of the household's software.

Women are technology users and more women are becoming part of the industry that makes the decisions on how digital communications and entertainment will be designed, created, and presented.

Yet as women grow in numbers as users, fewer women than men are currently working in the technology sector. Numbers of young women enrolling in the math and computer sciences are actually on the decline.

Because more entrepreneurs and workers in the Information Technology and new media industry are male, the influences of software, especially in gaming and entertainment, naturally reflect the interests of men.

Consequently, the numbers of game and entertainment software titles reflecting the interests of women are not as readily available in the marketplace, nor are women thought of as a market that needs addressing.

It’s our contention that if we create more entertainment titles for women and teen girls, then more young women will enter the computer sciences, communications, and games industry, creating even more great new media titles for all of us to enjoy.

Based on this premise, Women Wise™ was formed to encourage women to use and create digital entertainment with a female perspective.

As we grow, so will the portion of profits from our products that go into scholarships and work placements to promote women in this sector.

In early history, the phrase "wise women" was used to describe the highly learned women of those times. Women Wise™ aims to acknowledge and to help promote modern-day "wise women" through mobile and computer technology.

Thank you for your support and comments. As a community, we truly are - Women Wise™.

Women Wise™…lighting the creative spirit!
