The Dancing Girl of Ganymede — Leigh Brackett

She had come to life, but she was not human. If Harrah had seen her before he would not have forgotten. He thought that no man could ever forget her. Leigh Brackett was the undisputed Queen of Space Opera and the first women to be nominated for the coveted Hugo Award. She wrote short stories, novels, and scripts for Hollywood. She wrote the first draft of the Empire Strikes Back shortly before her death in 1978.
