James Tiptree, Jr

James Tiptree, Jr (August 24, 1915 – May 19, 1987) was the pen name of science fiction author Alice Sheldon. She later also wrote under the pseudonym Raccoona Sheldon. Tiptree/Sheldon was most notable for breaking down the barriers between perceived "male writing" and "female writing" — it was not publicly known until 1977 that she was a woman.
