About the Author

Clare Winger Harris (1891-1968) was an early science fiction writer whose short stories were published during the 1920s. Her stories often dealt with characters on the “borders of humanity” such as cyborgs.

Harris began publishing magazine stories in 1926, and soon became well liked by readers. She was the first American woman to publish science fiction stories under her own name. Her writing career lasted until 1933.

In the December, 1926 issue of Amazing Stories, editor Hugo Gernsback announced a story contest to write from the inspiration of the illustration on the cover. Out of the 360 stories received, Clare Winger Harris was awarded Third Place with The Fate of the Poseidonia. The story was published in the June, 1927 issue.
