I like how we're ignoring that even in the short list posted in the OP that not all of the winners are all women, to say nothing of all those who got nominated.
Not that I think gender should be a deciding factor in if a book does or doesn't get an award, nor do I feel the Hugos used gender to determine who should get an award. Just pointing out that the phrase "all women" was never applicable to this discussion because it's factually untrue.
I also think dismissing an awards list, or a book for that matter, based on the authors name alone is rather more telling of the person dismissing the award/book than it is of the award/book.
