Definitely -- thanks for the link. Seems like the trends are mostly positive, but moving slowly, and changing faster in fantasy than in SF, which doesn't surprise me.

I'm familiar with the issue around women not receiving and especially being nominated for the major SF awards, particularly the Hugos. Interesting that the Campbell Award is the only one (besides the Tiptree, for obvious reasons) that has started honoring more women. Sign of changes coming in the field? But in that case, I'd expect to see more women among the "regular" Hugos as well.

I'll be interested to see what the final Top 10 in the Tor poll looks like, as well as the complete list that they're talking about publishing.
