James Tiptree, Jr. ( August 24, 1915 – May 19, 1987 ) was the pen name of American science fiction author Alice Bradley Sheldon, used from 1967 to her death.

Tiptree / Sheldon was most notable for breaking down the barriers between writing perceived as inherently " male " or " female " — it was not publicly known until 1977 that James Tiptree, Jr. was a woman.

After receiving her doctorate in experimental psychology in 1967, she submitted a few science fiction stories under the name James Tiptree Jr. to protect her academic reputation.

She adopted the pseudonym of James Tiptree Jr. in 1967.

When comparing authority, the name James Tiptree Jr. has more authority than Alice B. Sheldon due to the fact that male authors were more respected during Sheldon ’ s era.

John Clute, noting Tiptree's " inconsolable complexities of vision ", concluded that " It is very rarely that a James Tiptree story does not both deal directly with death and end with a death of the spirit, or of all hope, or of the race ".

Award winning science fiction authors Karen Joy Fowler and Pat Murphy created the James Tiptree, Jr. award in honor of Alice B. Sheldon on February 1991.

Sheldon influenced this award through her use of a masculine pseudonym, James Tiptree, Jr., demonstrating that there is no distinction in works of science fiction when written by either gender.

Novels such as " Half Life " by Shelley Jackson and " Light " by M. John Harrison have received the James Tiptree, Jr. award for incorporating themes of fantasy and sexuality.

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award is given in her honor each year for a work of science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender ; funds for the award are raised in part by bake sales

The James Tiptree, Jr. Award is an annual literary prize for works of science fiction or fantasy that expand or explore one's understanding of gender.

The award is named for Alice B. Sheldon, who wrote under the pseudonym James Tiptree, Jr. By choosing a masculine nom de plume, having her stories accepted under that name and winning awards with them, Sheldon helped demonstrate that the division between male and female science fiction writing was illusory.
