James Tiptree, Jr. Award

2007-03-17T23:03:05Z

Hhw: /* Anthologies */ added #3

The '''James Tiptree, Jr. Award''' is an annual literary prize for works of [[science fiction]] or [[fantasy]] that expand or explore our understanding of [[gender|gender]]. It was initiated in February of 1991 by authors [[Pat Murphy]] and [[Karen Joy Fowler]], subsequent to a discussion at [[WisCon]] (then the world's only [[feminism|feminist]]-oriented [[science fiction convention]]).

The award is named for [[James Tiptree, Jr.|Alice B. Sheldon]], who wrote under the pseudonym [[James Tiptree, Jr.]] By choosing a masculine ''nom de plume,'' having her stories accepted under that name and winning awards with them, Sheldon helped demonstrate that the division between male and female SF writing was illusory. Years after "Tiptree" first published SF, Sheldon wrote some work under the female pen name "Raccoona Sheldon"; later, the SF world discovered that "Tiptree" had been female all along. According to the Tiptree Award council, this discovery led to widespread discussion over which aspects of writing, if any, have an intrinsic gender. To remind audiences of the complicated role gender plays in both reading and writing, the award was named in Sheldon's honor.

Fundraising efforts for the Tiptree have included publications, auctions, and feminist bake sales.

==Discussion==

The Tiptree Award is one of the few awards that embodies science fiction-ness in its award process. It's not a popularity contest; it's not an award for literary quality; it's not an award based on sales. It's an award for "exploring" a concept -- a fundamentally science fictional thing to do. Popularity and attention to a work give it impact; literary quality makes it possible to deliver the exploration and make it work. But the science fictional notion of ''exploration'' is at the heart of the Tiptree Award.

Hhw: /* Individual WisCons */ fixed 25 year

'''WisCon''', the Wisconsin [[Science Fiction]] Convention, is generally acknowledged as the world's leading [[feminism|feminist]]-oriented [[science fiction convention]] and conference. It is held annually throughout the four day weekend of Memorial Day, in Madison, Wisconsin. Sponsored by the Society for the Furtherance and Study of Fantasy and Science Fiction or ''(SF)³'', WisCon gathers together women and men: [[science fiction fandom|fans]], writers, editors, publishers, scholars and artists from around the world to discuss science fiction and fantasy, with emphasis on issues of [[feminism]], [[gender identity|gender]], [[race]] and [[social class|class]].

Guests of Honor have included [[Ursula K. Le Guin]], [[Katherine MacLean]], [[Vonda N. McIntyre]], [[Susan Wood]], [[Suzy McKee Charnas]], [[John Varley (author)|John Varley]], [[Joan D. Vinge]], [[David Hartwell]], [[Beverly DeWeese]], [[Octavia E. Butler]], [[Chelsea Quinn Yarbro]], [[Donald A. Wollheim|Don]] & [[Elsie Wollheim]], [[Buck Coulson|Buck]] & [[Juanita Coulson]], [[Terry Carr]], [[Suzette Haden Elgin]], [[Elizabeth A. Lynn]], [[Jessica Amanda Salmonson]], [[Connie Willis]], [[Esther Friesner]], [[Samuel R. Delany]], [[Avedon Carol]], [[R. A. MacAvoy]], [[George R. R. Martin]], [[Howard Waldrop]], [[Stu Shiffman]], [[Iain M. Banks]], [[Emma Bull]], [[Pat Murphy]], [[Pamela Sargent]], [[Trina Robbins]], [[Eleanor Arnason]], [[Lois McMaster Bujold]], [[Maureen F. McHugh]], [[Karen Joy Fowler]], [[Barbara Hambly]], [[Nancy Kress]], [[Nicola Griffith]], [[Judith Merril]], [[Sheri S.

McKillip]], [[Mary Doria Russell]], [[Gardner Dozois]], [[Pat Cadigan]], [[Terri Windling]], and [[Melissa Scott]].

The [[James Tiptree, Jr. Award]], an annual literary prize for science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender, originated in a discussion at a prior WisCon, and the Tiptree Ceremony is often held at WisCon. [[Broad Universe]], an organization with the primary goal of promoting science fiction, fantasy, and horror written by women, also originated in a discussion at a prior WisCon; as did the [[Carl Brandon Society]], which is dedicated to addressing the representation of people of color in science fiction, fantasy and horror.
