The 20th Golden Age of Science Fiction MEGAPACK®: Evelyn E. Smith

During the 1950s, Evelyn E. Smith regularly published science fiction in magazines like Galaxy and Fantastic Universe. These range from post-apocalyptic satires, such as "The Last of the Spode" and "The Hardest Bargain," to "BAXBR/DAXBR," where she explores the dangers of Martian crossword puzzles. She also wrote four science fiction novels, which chiefly deal with questions of gender identity. Like all of her work, they are characterized by their wit and humor. At her best, she was the equal of anyone -- male or female -- writing for the pulp magazines.
