Summary:

James Tiptree, Jr., was one of the great SF writers, so important that the Tiptree Awards for "gender-bending" science fiction were named for her. Her fiction burst into prominence in the field in the late 1960s, winning many Hugo and Nebula Awards, and her passionate works left an indelible mark on generations of SF writers thereafter. In the late 1970s it became known that Tiptree was the pseudonym of Alice Sheldon, a psychologist and former CIA employee, and the revelation of her true identity sent shock waves through the SF world, for she had been a passionate player in the controversies of the day, especially in the turbulent growth of feminism in science fiction. After her death in the late 1980s, her literary estate was left in the care of Jeffrey D. Smith, who has assembled all of her published but uncollected work for the present volume.
