 Episode number 101. I am devoting to James Tippre Jr aka Alice B. Sheldon. When people talk about women in science fiction, they tend to talk about current stuff like Harry Potter and the Mockingjay stuff, or they'll talk about Octavia Butler or Margaret Atwood, which is fine, but we're talking about classic science fiction authors here and you can't get more classic than James Tippre Jr. This is one of the authors that revolutionized modern science fiction in the 1970s and she started her career after the age of 50. Next time someone asks you about where to find women authors in science fiction, introduce them to this book. Her Smoke Grows Up Forever is a definitive collection of her short stories and then sit back and watch their faces melt off.
