Author Marion Zimmer Bradley was an ingenious, prolific writer, known for her generosity with both professional and beginner writers, but who was notorious for her controversial attitude and visionary ideas.
At a time when female characters were portrayed as either weaklings or wantons, when there were few women writers and they were best known for writing sugared romances, Marion Zimmer Bradley was responsible for helping create the modern Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, with strong female characters, daring plots, and delicate social questions.
