	Lowry Pei- Poor Singletons: Definitions of Humanity in the Stories of James Tiptree, Jr.
		From the point of view of cleaning up the planet, which is the goal in both cases, the action of that story differs little from "The Screwfly Solution," except that in the latter case the disease is spread by aliens.
		An alternative solution, in short, in which man's dream of "working out the beast" comes true and does not kill him — though the starry life we see here may not be what we would call human.
		Although it is now known that "James Tiptree, Jr." is a pseudonym of Alice Sheldon, and though I discuss one story ("The Screwfly Solution") published under the pseudonym of "Raccoona Sheldon," I refer to the author of these stories as "Tiptree" because that is the name readers associate with all but one of them.

	Her Smoke Rose Up Forever by James Tiptree, Jr. -- Back in print at last!
		When considering her entire œuvre as a whole, this description is so comprehensive as to make a strong case that it is this relationship that is the axis about which all else revolves.
		In The Screwfly Solution, one of the most perfect horror stories ever penned, tells the story of the end of the human species as experienced by a scientist and his wife.

	The Last Flight of Doctor Ain \| MetaFilter
		"The Screwfly Solution" is one of my favorites, and probably one of her most well-known.
		In the Out of the Everywhere collection, there are two other stories (earlier?) with the same theme, as if she were reworking and refining it.
		The Screwfly Solution disturbed me deeply when I first read it because I assumed it had been written by a man, and in this case the gender of the author really does make a difference (if male, it's the ultimate misogynist fantasy, if female, a brilliant rendition of women's deepest fears).

		Memorial Award was created in 1991 to honor Alice Sheldon, and feminist science fiction.

	Medicine and Science Fiction
		In James Tiptree, Jr's "The Screwfly Solution", the human race faces extinction from an alien-induced epidemic of homocidal violence against women.
		it is the rare writer who does not, however, relent by the end, but the solution is seldom medical and often has mystical overtones.
		James Miranda Barry (1799-1865) matriculated at the University of Edinburgh medical school at the age of ten (that was before age restrictions), graduated at age twelve, trained in surgery in London, and, despite a peppery disposition and an unfashionable commitment to preventative medicine, rose through the ranks.

		We have already looked at Joanna Russ's 'When It Changed', whose title sums up not only the action, but the era which produced the story (the early 1970s).
		Read also Joanna Russ's fictional critique of sf, 'The Clichés from Outer Space'; Sheldon's 'The Screwfly Solution'; Tiptree's 'The Women Men Don't See' (which gave Lefanu the title of her book); and the section from Gearhart's The Wanderground.
		On Tiptree, see particularly Amanda Boulter's article on the author in Foundation 63 (Spring 1995), which discusses in particular the question of the various personas adopted by the author.
