The Frag Dolls are an an all-female gaming group, also known as a clan, put together by games publisher Ubisoft to play in professional competitions and also get feedback on the company's games.

Ms Jenkins said female gaming clans are not unusual because sexism is still alive and well amongst gamers.

"The problem is that right now, in the gaming community, gender sort of is a big deal and a lot of girls take flak not for anything except being girls."

"There are all kinds of clans out there of girls who got together because they were sick of being hassled by guys who didn't get it and who for some reason thought they didn't like anal sex."

Ms Jenkins, who now works for Xbox Australia, said she was keen to have more women making great games that anyone can play.

She also looks forward to when gender becomes a "non-issue".

"Then you're not a girl gamer, you're just a gamer, and I can hardly wait for that."
