Mary Hastings Bradley

Mary Hastings Bradley and the lion that came back to life.

Mary Wilhelmina Hastings Bradley (????-1976) was an American writer, journalist and explorer.

In the science-fiction community, she is best known (posthumously) for having been the mother of James Tiptree, Jr., and her death the occasion of Tiptree's unmasking. Her obituary listed her only child: a daughter.

She was a terrifically prolific writer, who wrote several mystery novels, travelogues, and short stories, and was a foreign correspondant during WWII.
