More on author gender for Hugo-nominated fiction
Have now belatedly updated my page on author gender for Hugo fiction nominees to cover 2012.
For the first time ever, we've had two years in a row in which the percentage of nominated prose fiction by women is over 50%. Though that almost happened in 1992 and 1993, when the percentages were 52% and 50%. There've only been four years in the history of the Hugos when the percentage has been 50% or higher.
