James Tiptree, Andre Norton, and C.L. Moore all have in common that they were science-fiction writers. They also were all female and they began writing in a time when it was difficult to sell science-fiction books under a female name. At least that's what editors and publishers (who were almost all male) thought. Whether or not they were right, I can.t say. Perhaps there were studies done to prove the point, but maybe it was simply a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead. Letter to C.L. Moore (August 1936), quoted in "H.P. Lovecraft, a Life" by S.

Moore, Lee Brown Coye, Hannes Bok, August Derleth, Edmond Hamilton, Manly Wade Wellman, Fritz Leiber, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Donald Wandrei, Mary Elizabeth Counselman, and many others.

With dozens of color and black & white photographs, and many of the articles never before reprinted (several coming from 1930s and 1940s fanzines that are now very difficult to find), this is an important and illuminating look at a...
