Listopia > James Tiptree, Jr. Award

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award is an annual literary prize for works of science fiction or fantasy that expand or explore one's understanding of gender. It was initiated in February 1991 by science fiction authors Pat Murphy and Karen Joy Fowler, subsequent to a discussion at WisCon.

I have added all the stories that have won so far, that were in the Goodreads library - if someone want to add the rest, please go ahead. I have just added them in chronological order, but of course you are very welcome to vote!
