As the years passed (...) I became a voracious reader of Anne McCaffrey. I even claim the distinction of being the very first person to read the individual pages of The White Dragon as it came out of Mum's IBM Selectric typewriter.
Restoree was Anne's earliest blow for women's rights in science fiction. "I was so tired of all the weak women screaming in the corner while their boyfriends were beating off the aliens - I wouldn't have been - I'd've been in there swinging with something or kicking them as hard as I could."
