For More Information

This is the world's leading feminist science fiction convention. WisCon encourages discussion and debate of ideas relating to feminism, gender, race and class. WisCon welcomes writers, editors and artists whose work explores these themes as well as their many fans. We have panel discussions, academic presentations, and readings as well as many other uncategorizable events. WisCon is primarily a book-oriented convention... with an irrepressible sense of humor.

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award is annually presented at WisCon and is given to a work or works that explore and expand gender roles in science fiction and fantasy. This year it will be awarded to:

• Shelley Jackson for Half Life
• Catherynne M. Valente for The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden
• and a special recognition award for of Julie Philips' work of nonfiction James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon
