Feminization has got it going on by continually setting its own rules for almost every single area of human life and the world’s development. Moreover, as it happens, poker is no exception to the revolutionary and steadfast expansion of the feminist movement all over the world. Given that gambling was initially solely a male obsession, the tendency towards this old-school pastime by women has picked up much steam as well as admiration among “pokered-up” individuals.
Surprisingly, there is a substantial number of upbeat and self-motivated female poker players in the industry. These women have proven that they were not only able to keep up with the opposite sex but, to men’s great sexist disappointment, sometimes even surpass the self-important gender at poker. Now, let’s tackle the list of the most successful women who have managed to become quite famous poker players and get some inspiration from their extraordinary stories.
