Abstract

Leslie F. Stone (1905–1991) was the second woman (after Clare Winger Harris) to publish science fiction in the early pulp magazines. She became a prolific and popular author of the Gernsback era. This essay offers readers a rare view into the life and experiences of a pioneering woman writer of the pulp era. It explores the origins and motivation behind her pseudonym, the reception Stone experienced as a woman writer in a male-dominated field, her innovative new plots, and her departure from publishing amid the wartime horrors of the 1940s.
