: Women who weren't shortlisted for a Hugo
One of our non-feminist readers read my post on Late Business at the Hugo Awards and decided to find out who would have been added to the shortlists had the Joanna Russ Amendment passed and been ratified before the 2000 Hugos. Their thought was: "I had wondered if the rule came with a built-in weakness, forcing Hugo Administrators to reach so far down the list that the stories would lack excellence, or have gotten trivial numbers of votes."
The writers who would have been shortlisted were: Eleanor Arnason, Kage Baker, Judith Berman, Claire Brialey, Lois McMaster Bujold, Nancy Kress (three times), Ellen Klages, Margo Lanagan, Evelyn Leeper, Ursula K. LeGuin, Elizabeth Malarette, Maureen McHugh, Vonda N. McIntyre, Cheryl Morgan, M. Ricker, J. K. Rowling (twice), and Jo Walton.
This reader adds, sedately "From this list I see that particular problem would not have been much of an issue."
I've added the specific stories, place on the top-15 list, and number of votes to my post at feministsf-blog.
