"Who Will Speak for the Aliens?"
Jdith Merril (1923-1997) made a huge impact on the Science Fiction community. Indeed, she spoke bluntly and honestly, and was not afraid to tell others what she thought of them. Certainly her strong personality and unique outlook on life allowed her to impact others and succeed in SF writing.

The above quote was Merril's reply to a debate in a meeting for the Writers' Union as to whether people could continue to write about genders and ethnic groups.
