Susan Picking: Making Music with and for Kids in the School of Life 63 hours
Creating a Children's CD with Message-Driven songs....about life, challenges, LOVE, diversity, being unique, and having FUN.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/77 ... the-school
This project is to fund the recording and duplication of a message driven Children's CD. The working title is "The School of Life." I'm enrolled in this School. The songs in this project are intended to INSPIRE kids to live in the moment, to embrace diversity, to be kind, to be unique, to stand up against bullying, and to have fun. I perform these songs with kids in interactive performances. Music is a powerful teaching tool. It is a universal language that touches people on all levels, connects people, and has a healing component. In addition to being FUN, these songs help kids and teachers imbue positive messages that can become personal mantra and positive self talk...

Monarch Board Game - vie for the crown
Made by women and focuses on women

Compete for the throne! Only the player with the most majestic court will be named heir. Strategy for gamers, simplicity for families.

In Monarch® you play the heirs to the throne. Your mother, the Queen, has lived out her years and will soon pass on the crown. The time has come for you and your sisters to demonstrate your intelligence, compassion, bravery, and strength as leaders. Choose strategies that will bring prosperity to the land and glory to your court. Defend the realm from threats and famine. There are many paths to choose from, but only the most worthy among you will become heir to the throne. Who will be Queen?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ma ... -the-crown

Both Empresses and Queens had more power than the history books have granted them. I have long been fascinated by the stories of Medieval Queens and stories of fantastic Chinese Empresses. These women were highly trained and truly well rounded, clever people (did you know, for example, Empress Xi Ling Shi invented silk?)...

Chainmail Bikini is an anthology comic collection by women gamers. It features women telling tales of their experiences (or others' experiences) playing video games, card games, board games, RPGs, etc.
They do not have any fancy stretch goals, however, more importantly, their focus on raising more money is by giving their contributors a higher pay.
For 200+ pages, it has a great price, too!

Here's another comics project. This one focuses on presenting queer stories with a sci-fi bent. I got the digital version since the +$10 shipping was a little steep for a physical reward.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/33 ... -anthology

Warning: The pledging system seems a little weird on Kickstarter right now with the +$ system for shipping, so do not fret if your reward starts acting wacky.

I pledged for that too. I need to go through my current active projects and post them here.

I noticed Kickstarter has been wonky today. Think we might see an "upgrade" soon?

Mahou Shojo: Fights Like a Girl

Mahou Shojo is a battle card game played with two people for ages 8 and up.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/17 ... ike-a-girl

Mahou Shojo is inspired by powerful women in both media and reality. The game hopes to capture both of these spirits and apply them to the game. This is also a game that recognizes that Representation Matters. With that, we focus on a diverse group of warriors with different ethnicities and body types.

"Artwork in this game is fantastic, the characters are super inclusive of all kinds of women from their varied skin tones to their body types. There is better representation of females in this game than I’ve seen in any game before it. That in itself makes this a fantastic game to empower players to find their own representative character and to help every girl find her magic." - Engaged Family Gaming

Also added to Games category.

Neon Moon - feminist lingerie

Neon Moon will design and distribute nonconformist lingerie for women around the world. The brand strives to create lingerie that empowers women in all phases of womanhood, fostering confidence. Neon Moon and I wish to change the lingerie industry by catering to women of all sizes, ethnicities, and body types, including women who embrace pubic, leg and underarm hair.

Neon Moon will continuously highlight what women truly look like, and none of the models have or will be retouched. Neon Moon's first capsule collection "Mon Dieu" offers alternative, colourful yet comfortable bras and knickers with names like coucou, bof, tac-tac and non! The Mon Dieu collection does not incorporate any padding, push-up, or wired attributes. Instead, the Bamboo fabric and shape is designed to work around the body, instead of the other way around.
