What a lovely analysis! Obvious the genre(s) skew male, but I'd be interested in a gender breakdown, if that's possible with your dataset. Obviously Le Guin is the most-mentioned woman in the article, but it might be cool to also do a ranking of best sci-fi by female authors only since there are fewer, especially pre-1980s, and they tend to get edged out.
