Sheldon","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Tiptree, Jr., burst onto the science fiction scene in the late 1960s with a series of hard-edged, provocative stories. He redefined the genre with such classics as \u003ci\u003eHouston, Houston, Do You Read?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Women Men Don't See\u003c\/i\u003e. For nearly ten years he wrote and carried on intimate correspondences with other writers--Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, and Ursula K. Le Guin, though none of them knew his true identity. Then the cover was blown on his alter ego: \"he\" was actually a sixty-one-year-old woman named Alice Bradley Sheldon. A feminist, she took a male name as a joke--and found the voice to write her stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive research, exclusive interviews, and full access to Alice Sheldon's papers, Julie Phillips has penned a biography of a profoundly original writer and a woman far ahead of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312426941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.57w x 1.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Locus Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington State Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/29\/2007 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Julie Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635880521884,"sku":"9780312426941","price":31.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cba92c87-2c77-4e3c-bd7b-72623f0afa28.jpg?v=1603840780","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/james-tiptree-jr-the-double-life-of-alice-b-sheldon-9780312426941","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
