    Just a run-of-the-mill misogynist who can’t accept the idea that a woman wrote a piece of foundational genre fiction. See: all the unfounded claims that actually her husband wrote the story.

      Relax. I do think she wrote the book herself but also took heavy inspiration from Dippel and never credited the story. This would be like someone hanging around Castle Dracula, writing a book called Dracula, and then claiming the story “came to me in a dream”.
