This is a brilliant idea. I'd love to see this as an article on the main page!
And recently I read that Koei was founded by a married couple and Keiko Erikawa still runs the company with her husband now that the company is Koei Tecmo. She also created the first all female writing team in games as far as I can tell (maybe just the first in Japan). She did this purely with the aim to change the industry and this led to their range of Otome, adventure, dating sim & visual novel games.

That's one I didn't know, I've become very interested in the people behind the games I find it fascinating when I find some interview with the developers. Especially when I've really enjoyed the games they work on.

Here's another one.
Cathy Carlston was one of the three bosses of Brøderbund Software in the 1980s. I just read that here: https://gamehistory.org/where-in-north-dakota-is-carmen-sandiego/ actually this article goes into better detail about her, the first aticle is mainly about a game but it does talk about Katherine Bird who worked on the first Carmen Sandiego game: https://thenewinquiry.com/blog/where-in-the-world-iscathy-carlston/
