  • Summary

  • The first women to appear (as "soloists") on the ballot for science fiction's Hugo Awards were Zenna Henderson and Pauline Ashwell, in 1959. (Catherine L. Moore had appeared on an earlier ballot, but for a collaboration with Henry Kuttner.)

    Fearing that Henderson and Ashwell might be drifting into obscurity, Colin and Phil set out to review their Hugo-nominated novelettes:

    Zenna Henderson's "Captivity" - find it here: https://archive.org/details/Fantasy_Science_Fiction_v014n06_1958-06_PDF/page/n3/mode/2up

    Pauline Ashwell's "Unwillingly to School" - find it here: https://archive.org/details/sim_astounding-science-fiction_1958-01_60_5/page/8/mode/2up

    We also have the obligatory fiendish sci-fi quiz, and our usual round-up of recommendations of past/present/future SF.
