Centipede

That's my guess too. I remember reading an interview with her and she was saying she purposely designed the game with pastel colours. I guess the "boy" games clashed with her feminine sensibilities. ;)

Yes, Centipede was the first arcade game to be designed by a woman. Her name is Dona Bailey.

The real question is whether any women designed pins or something else that'd qualify as an earlier type of coin operated game. ;)

There is one that I know of...

I can't think of any in the coin-op world, but in the computer game world you've got Dan(i) Bunten (http://www.anticlockwise.com/dani/) who made M.U.L.E., among other things.

And in the movie world you've got Larry Wachowski (Well, not yet, but he's having the surgery soon (http://www.suntimes.com/output/zwecker//cst-ftr-zp29.html))

It's the guy that created GORF, but I can't remember his/her name right now.

GORF is correct. :D Jay Fenton was his name.

And in the cross-over worlds (no pun intended) of movie/music/video games...
Wendy Carlos (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDCASS80311131726070001&sql=Buyr9ke9t7q7m), electronic music pioneer and collaborator with Richard Moog (inventor of the Moog Synthesiser), composed the famous TRON soundtrack that we all know and love.
Known as Walter Carlos (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDCASS80311131726070001&sql=B4fdsa9tgy23h) before her sex change operation in 1967, she has created some of the most innovative music of that era, from such soundtracks as Clockwork Orange and The Shining to the ground-breaking electronic works of the "Switched-On (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDCASS80311131726070001&sql=Atx6xlf3ekcqo)" albums.
