Our college gaming group have 50-60 members and we had maybe 4-5 women in it. Since then, with the arrival of White Wolf and the increased interest in Anime and card games, things have gotten much better, perhaps closer to 5/1 or even 4/1.A few years ago I was the debate coach for my highschool team, and I was amazed at the number of women there who gamed, and didn't think anything of it. What has also been interesting is going to Gen Con: I've been there every year since, if I'm remembering properly, 1977, and the number of women who attend has been steadily increasing.I think this is a great thing for the hobby, since a lot of the antisocial stereotypes that accompany gamers have a lot to do with the fact that there is an inequality of genders involved with it (at least in my opinion).--Steve</blockquote>
