Simone first came to public notice through Women in Refrigerators, a website founded in 1999 by comics fans in response to a scene in Green Lantern #54, in which Kyle Rayner's girlfriend, Alexandra DeWitt, is murdered and her corpse shoved in a refrigerator for him to find. The fans analyzed the treatment of women in fiction and concluded that they are often killed or harmed to advance the narrative of male characters. The site brought Simone into contact with many people working in the comics industry.

Beginning in October 1999, her column You'll All Be Sorry! appeared weekly on Comic Book Resources.{{cite web |last1=Simone |first1=Gail |title='You'll All Be Sorry!'

From 2001, Simone wrote Simpsons Comics for Bongo Comics, including an annual Treehouse of Horror special, and regular scripts for Bart Simpson Comics. Simone also penned many Sunday strips for the syndicated Simpsons comic strip.

Simone worked for Marvel Comics on Deadpool from 2003. After Deadpool was canceled and relaunched as Agent X, Simone continued as writer, but eventually left the project after a conflict with the series' editor.{{cite web|url=http://www.comicsbulletin.com/ambi/104611396520415.htm |title=The Gail Simone Dialogues |year=2003 |publisher=Comics Bulletin |first=Brandon |last=Thomas |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090827112755/http://www.comicsbulletin.com/ambi/104611396520415.htm |archive-date=2009-08-27 }} Simone returned to write the concluding arc to Agent X after the series' initial cancellation.

Simone moved to DC Comics, where she wrote Birds of Prey in 2003 from issue #56, which featured an all-female team: Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress, and Lady Blackhawk.

Simone wrote Action Comics with John Byrne as pencil artist. In 2005 Simone wrote the Villains United limited series – part of the Infinite Crisis crossover – starring Catman. She also wrote a two-issue story arc that focused on Hawk and Dove for a rebooted Teen Titans series with Rob Liefeld as artist. Simone supported Liefeld in the face of public criticism of his art.[http://classic.newsarama.com/DC/liefeld/titans.htm Newsarama]{{Dead link|date=July 2010}}{{Cite web|url=http://dcboards.warnerbros.com/web/thread.jspa?threadID=2000039216&start=30&tstart=0|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051017203823/http://dcboards.warnerbros.com/web/thread.jspa?threadID=2000039216&start=30&tstart=0|url-status=dead|title=DC Comics message boards|archivedate=Oct 17, 2005|accessdate=March 14, 2021}}

Simone's Villains United limited series spin-off Secret Six followed in 2005, which led to an ongoing series in September 2008, and multiple DC crossovers prior to the September 2011 New 52 relaunch.

Other works by Simone include Action Comics, The Legion, Rose and Thorn, WildStorm's Gen¹³, and an Atom series based on ideas by Grant Morrison and penciled by John Byrne and Mike Norton. She wrote a creator-owned project about a retirement community of super-heroes, Welcome to Tranquility, for WildStorm, and contributed to Tori Amos's Comic Book Tattoo.

Awards and honors

Simone is notable for being one of the most influential women in the comic book industry.Maggs, Sam (March 7, 2013). [http://dorkshelf.com/2013/03/07/ladies-make-comics-too-gail-simone/ "Ladies Make Comics Too: Gail Simone"]. Dork Shelf. Her blog "Women In Refrigerators" raised awareness of the representation of women in comics.Meyer, Jim [http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/934?articleID=90330 "Women in Comics- Gail Simone Interview"]. PREVIEWS. Simone believes most female comic characters are targeted at male audiences through oversexualization, and advocates for the creation of female characters that are as powerful, appealing, and commercially viable as male characters, something she strives to achieve in her own work.
