About the C. J. Cherryh
Carolyn Janice Cherryand Cyteenappended a silent “h” to her real name because her first editor, Donald A. Wollheim, felt that “Cherry” sounded too much like a romance writer. She used only her initials, C. J., to disguise that she was female at a time when the majority of science fiction authors were male.
The author has an asteroid, 77185 Cherryh, named after her. Referring to this honor, the asteroid’s discoverers wrote of Cherryh: “She has challenged us to be worthy of the stars by imagining how mankind might grow to live among them.”
