Over the past few issues I have searched the world for female fans of LEGO. Many of them have shared with me their views on products for girls as well as what they would like to see in the future. Of course, they’ve also shown me the amazing models they build and in turn I’ve shared those with BrickJournal readers. It is interesting to read through their answers to my questions and to find many of them fall in certain age ranges, and the fact that few of them want to build with the stereotypically female colors like pink.
While this is a mostly male dominated hobby (boys and men), it is also exciting to see the girls and women being able to build so well and as time goes on, maybe there is hope for more of us girls, yet!
Girls throughout the world are encouraged to build and use the LEGO product, and as you can see, age is no barrier. You do not need to be an artist, designer, sculptor or anything else, just be yourself, have fun, and build with your imagination! There is plenty of inspiration out there and loads of fantastic parts and colors with which to build and create some of your wildest dreams!
So, let’s hope for more female minifigs, more females in advertisements (personally I think these things are also lacking) and many other exciting things for both boys & girls in the future!
If you are a female AFOL, have a website, Brickshelf folder or pictures of your MOCS and would like to see your MOCs in
