The Tiptree Award is an an annual literary prize for science fiction or fantasy works that expand or explore new understandings of gender. Named for the late, great James Tiptree, Jr., the pseudonym for pioneering science fiction author Alice Sheldon, the award boasts some reputable past winners. One is Pulitzer nominee Mary Doria Russell's remarkable 1997 novel The Sparrow, a thoughtful exploration of both 1492 and The Holocaust, now currently in development at Warner Brothers with screenplay adaptation by Michael Seitzman (of recent North Country fame). The award will be presented at this year's WisCon, held May 26-29, 2006 in Madison, Wisconsin.
