Carolyn Ives Gilman
Carolyn Ives Gilman (born 1954) is a historian and author of Science Fiction and Fantasy. She has been nominated for the Nebula Award three times, and the Hugo once.[1] She is Museum Curator of the Missouri Historical Society, specializing in 18th and 19th century American History.
Her first Novel, Halfway Human, was a new entry into the genre of Gender Science Fiction, portraying a world in which humans have three genders: male, female, and neuter. It has been called "one of the most compelling explorations of gender and power in recent SF"[2] and compared favorably to the work of Ursula K. Le Guin.[3] The book placed 2nd in the Locus Reader Poll for Best First Novel, and was nominated for the Tiptree Award. Her work is known for vivid portrayals and deconstructions of the culture of the peoples in her stories.
