Chain Mail Bikini: The Anthology of Women Gamers

A single-issue anthology from 2016, Chain Mail Bikini collects comics, essays, and art by women and nonbinary creators about their experiences as gamers. Edited by Hazel Newlevant, it pushes back against the stereotype of the "gamer girl" with personal, funny, and critical perspectives on everything from tabletop RPGs to online harassment. This slim volume matters as an early, direct response to the toxic elements of gaming culture, centering the voices of those often marginalized in the hobby.
