(ETA) - found a mistake  in my numbers and didn't notice Catherine Asaro won 2 Nebulas. so there is only 39 women who have won the Nebula! )

More number crunching - so I have done the list of all women who have won any pro fiction category in the Hugos andNebulas. Interesting comparison. Total women winners of Hugos- 21. Total women winners of Nebulas -40  39

Willis is the top runner in both awards, and only Willis, LeGuin and Bujold in the top five of both.

Only 25 women have won either award more than once.

(apologies for the crap formatting - can't be bothered working out tables here...)

 I was doing some research on women writers of SF and needed some info on how many women

had won Hugos and Nebulas. When i couldn't find anything recent, I pulled this together from Locus awards page:

 Hugo / Nebula awards won by women (pro fiction categories only)

Hugo awards

Total wins by women in fiction:                46  (out of roughly 217 awards)*  = approx 21%

No of women writers to win:                    21

Nebula awards

 Total wins by women in fiction               72    ( out of roughly 184 awards)*  =approx 39%

No of women writers to win:                  40

*this is rough as it does not account for ties or no awards etc – this figure is the number of years awards presented in each category – novel, novella, novelette and short story

and of course, anyone else who hapens to be around. Fe totally shamed me by cooking those haloumi burgers i posted about back in ... April! And asked about other recipes. ahem.

Well, for various reasons (which i will try and post about straight after this) the cooking fairy has abandoned me - quite frankly we're lucky if anything happens beyond the eggs 'n' beans 'n' toast variety at the moment.

There has however been much cooking of the best ever soup recipe. Had it at a friends house and demanded they copy the recipe for me. I've played with it a bit, but bascially totally gacked from some vege recipe book that I don't own, so no attribution possible. What blew me away was how simple this recipe was, for something that tasted so good!

Quite literally, as this little corner of LJ-land gets more action and excitement than it has had in years, as I bring you, with much squee, a guest blog from the wonderous Tansy Rayner Roberts, on her crazed, virtual blog book tour as Creature Court vol 2: "The Shattered CIty" is released. So read on for:
The Mega Tansypost of doom!!

Ohhhh! Like  cassiphone (who led me there)  I'm excited about Ian Sale's 'SF Mistressworks meme'.
So for once, I'm going to meme it, yeah baby!
