Who Am Us, Anyway?

Sourdough Jackson, a transwoman, began reading SF with a Jules Verne novel at the age of six, and has been reading it avidly ever since. After graduating from Whitman College in 1973, she became active in science fiction fandom. She met Denver fan and artist Gail Barton at a convention, and they married in 1978. Sadly, this ended in 2018 when Gail died after a long illness.

Sourdough has for many years written a monthly column on classic science fiction, “Writers of the Purple Page,” which is published in a local fanzine. She is also a lifelong student of naval history, mythology, and space exploration.
