Jumping into the 1960s thank you very much which is sad to go that far but what's going on is we have to think about how women are being presented in the purchasing public, right? So when we come over here this woman is named Alice Sheldon. First of all, she doesn't look like a science fiction writer because we think that they're all dudes. She has the little pearl thing going on which is kind of cute. She couldn't get her novels published under her own name. So she went by the name of James Tiptree jr. and James wrote a whole lot of books that were big bestsellers and then eventually, almost 20 years later, Alice was like "No, the next book is going out of my name right, but it had to say formerly known as James Tiptree Jr. to make sure that her fans would travel over. I Know is that silly? It's silly but it is a habit we are still in.
