• Fumi Yoshinaga for Ooku: The Inner Chambers, (volumes 1 & 2) [2009, VIZ Media]

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award is an annual literary prize intended to "reward those women and men who are bold enough to contemplate shifts and changes in gender roles, a fundamental aspect of any society." The award is named after Alice B. Sheldon, who wrote under the pseudonym James Tiptree, Jr. for many years before revealing her identity and real name.

For more information see The James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award Council website.

Congratulations to the winners!
