Son of a Shakespearean actor, Fritz was at one time an actor himself and a mem­ ber of his father’s troupe. He made a cameo appearance in the film "Equinox." Fritz has studied many sciences and was once editor of Science Digest. His writing career began prior to World War 11 with some stories in Weird Tales. Soon Unknown published his novel "Conjure Wife, " which was made into a movie under the title (of all things) "Bum, Witch, Bum!" His Gray Mouser stories (which were the inspira­ tion for the Fantasy Faire "Fritz Leiber Fantasy Award") were started in Unknown and continued in Fantastic, which magazine devoted its entire Nov., 1959 issue to Fritz's stories. In 1959 Fritz was awarded a Hugo, by the World Science Fiction Convention for his novel "The Big Time." His novel "The Wanderer," about an interloper into our solar system, won the Hugo again in 1965.'-His novelettes Gonna Roll the Bones," "Ship of Shadows" and "Ill Met in Lankhmar” won the Hugo in 1968, 1970 and 1971 in that order.

    1 The Suburban Witch: Power, Domesticity, and Whiteness in Conjure Wife, The Witches of Eastwick, and The Love Witch by © Krysta Fitzpatrick A Thesis, Dissertation, or Report submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Gender Studies Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2020 2 The Suburban Witch: Power, Domesticity, and Whiteness in Conjure Wife, The Witches of Eastwick, and The Love Witch Krysta Fitzpatrick 200518751 3 Table of Contents Introduction……….5 Methodology……….17 Theory……….27 Analysis……….54 Conclusion……….77 Bibliography……….79 4 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisors, Dr. Jennifer Dyer and Dr. Dwayne Avery, for being so helpful and supportive during what was often a gruelling and difficult process. I would never have been able to finish this without the two of you. I would like to thank the Memorial university Gender Studies department for guiding me (and tolerating me) on this lengthy journey. I would also like to thank some of my long-time mentors from the English department, Dr. Christopher Lockett, Dr. Jennifer Lokash, and Dr. Andrew Loman, who have been supporting me in my academic career for over ten years. I would like to thank my family, especially my husband Scott, for bearing with me throughout this, and always believing in me. I would like to thank my sons, Jack and Wyatt, who I hope will not follow stereotypical white, male, patriarchal roles. I hope they will someday read their mother’s research and take the feminine experience seriously. I would like to dedicate this work to all of my sisters—not merely my biological family, my cis- ters, or my white sisters, but all women, who are worthy of power, autonomy, and agency.

  • 1954 Retro Hugo Nominating and Voting Statistics
    1954 Retro Hugo Nominating and Voting Statistics Noreascon Four – The 62nd Worldcon Boston, Massachusetts USA The nominees that follow were chosen by popular vote by 131 members of Noreascon 4 and Torcon 3 who submitted valid nomination forms for work done in 1953. A total of 131 nomination forms (35 paper and 96 on-line forms) were received. As required by the WSFS Constitution, we report the top 15 vote-getters in each category. (In no category did anyone else get as many as 5% of the nominations cast in that category.) Except for a few items which are marked as ineligible, no attempt was made to validate the name title or eligibility of any item which would not affect the final nomination listing. When a nominee received nominations in more than one category, we combined nominations to the correct category where appropriate. To determine the viability of categories, potential nominees with four or fewer nominations were dropped from consideration; where this dropped a given category below three nominees, the category was dropped as non-viable.
