C.L. Moore (1911–1987) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, who first came to prominence in the 1930s writing for the pulp magazine Weird Tales. She was among the first women to write in either genre, and paved the way for many other female speculative fiction writers. Moore was born Catherine Lucille Moore in Indianapolis, Indiana. She began writing stories in her teens, and sold her first story, "Shambleau", to Weird Tales in 1933. She went on to write many stories for the magazine, including the Northwest Smith series, which featured a space-faring adventurer. Moore also wrote several novels, including Judgment Night (1952) and Doomsday Morning (1957). She collaborated with her husband, Henry Kuttner, on several stories, including the classic "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" (1943). Moore was a major influence on later generations of science fiction and fantasy writers, and was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1998.
