2020 Hugo finalists and 1945 Retro Hugo finalists for Best Short Story

[nwhyte]

One interesting point that jumped out at me from reading this year's Hugo finalists in this category, and comparing with the 1945 Retro Hugo finalists: the protagonists of the stories on the 2020 ballot are all women, and the protagonists of the stories on the 1945 ballot are all men

I was also struck by how the Retro short stories are all science fiction while the 2020 finalists are almost all fantasy.

Good point.
