	If somebody has a better idea for a female-related question for manga/anime/etc, please feel free to mention it--it's not really my area (which is also why this quiz is so Western-centric).

	You might replace the Matrix question since Lana was not a woman at the time he/she directed the film. Other sci-fi women you could work in somewhere are Buffy, Susan Ivanova (Babylon 5), Leeloo (5th Element), Captain Janeway (Voyager), Barbarella, Emma Frost or Rogue (X-Men), Selene (Underworld), or Xena (though that may be more in the fantasy genre than sci-fi).

	@amwoods13--yeah, skipped Xena and Buffy for being more fantasy or horror than SF, and Rogue pops up among the actress questions; other than that I was trying to stick with the same number of questions per category, so I excluded many more TV characters than, say, SF novels with women protagonists. So a survey rather than an exhaustive list. I'll think about the Wachowski question--I wanted something with a director, but there aren't many of them (the other option was the director of Real Genius); it does accept either Lana or Larry for an answer, at least.

	Quality game!! Really like this, as for all those excellent other suggestions amwoods13 mentioned they could always go into a sequel at some point. I however do like that the Wachowski question is included although I'm not sure Andy needs to be mentioned in the answer since this game is about women and you noted that she was a CO-director and alone Andy would be an incorrect answer.
