[edit] Lois McMaster Bujold

Lois McMaster Bujold was born in Ohio in 1949. She developed a passion for science fiction at the age of nine and having identified the techniques of the genre, started developing her own style. After a spell as a biologist she turned to writing full time. Lois has remarked that her plots are often predicated on "the worst possible thing you could do" to a character. On one hand Lois McMaster Bujold has been compared to Ursula Le Guin by female critics for her strong feminist stance, which she deftly subsumes, rather than overtly preaches in her work; on the other she has been praised by male critics for "writing like a man". Bujold herself, though acknowledging both viewpoints, says she would rather call herself "a human beingist". Lois won the Nebula Award for Falling Free and The Mountains of Mourning and the Hugo Award for The Vor Game, Barrayar, Mirror Dance and The Mountains of Mourning. She was nominated for the John W Campbell Award in 1987. She lives in Minneapolis and has two children.
