Congratulations to the winners (and also to those seriously considered.)
One thing this got me thinking about is how science fiction used to be thought of as something for teenage boys and young men to read and men to write. Now, a number of the winners are female.
I remember it particularly because I was introduced to written science fiction as a child. That was by a much older, grandmotherly sort of relative–who for many years subscribed to a science fiction magazine. She started back when it wasn’t considered a “woman’s thing.”
(Of course even earlier there’s the case of Mary Shelley’s horror novel “Frankenstein” largely being science fiction….)
