One of the few female pulp writers (at least to gain great attention and acclaim), C. L. Moore wrote stories for Weird Tales and Astounding Science Fiction. She wrote classic stories about characters like Jirel of Joiry and Northwest Smith. Kirkus Reviews has a nice write-up of Moore’s life and fiction. After the death of her husband and collaborator Henry Kuttner, she switched to writing for Tv in the late 1950s, and then stopped writing altogether after her second marriage. She remained active in the sf community, but sadly her fiction is mainly out of print.
