Jenny of the Prairie

Jenny of the Prairie is an adventure game developed by Rhiannon Software for the Apple II and released in 1983. Addison-Wesley published versions for Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS. The player helps Jenny, a "plucky pioneer girl" in the 1840s, survive the winter after becoming separated from her wagon, by collecting food and building shelter.

This is one of the first computer games widely documented as designed by women, with a female protagonist, and targeted specifically to girls as an audience. It was the first in a series of four adventure titles named Adventure Stories for Girls. The series was created as part of an effort by co-designers, counsellor Elizabeth Stott and software designer Lucy Werth Ewell, to provide an alternative to games marketed to boys. Upon release, Jenny of the Prairie received average reviews, with recognition from critics on the game's appeal to girls, but mixed views on the gameplay, visuals and difficulty. Retrospectively, Jenny of the Prairie received recognition for its feminist qualities, although views were mixed on the game's appeal and educational potential.
