Anne McCaffrey war eine ausgezeichnete amerikanisch-irische Autorin, die vor allem für ihre Arbeiten in den Genres Science-Fiction, Fantasy und Planetary Romance bekannt ist. Sie ist am bekanntesten für ihre Dragonriders of Pern-Reihe und den Roman The Ship Who Sang. Geboren am 1. April 1926 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, war McCaffrey die Tochter von George Herbert McCaffrey, einem Absolventen der Columbia University und Oberst in der US-Armee, und Anne Dorothy McElroy McCaffrey, eine Immobilienmaklerin. Sie wurde an der Stuart Hall in Staunton, Virginia, der Montclair High School in Montclair, New Jersey, und absolvierte cum laude das Radcliffe College, wo sie Slawische Sprachen und Literaturen studierte.
Die Schreibkarriere von McCaffrey begann im Ernst nachdem ihre Kinder zur Schule gingen, und ihre erste Geschichte wurde von Sam Moskowitz in Science Fiction + Magazine veröffentlicht. Ihr erster Roman, Restoree, wurde 1967 von Ballantine Books veröffentlicht und markierte einen bedeutenden Moment in ihrer Karriere. Der Roman wurde als Protest gegen die Darstellungen von Frauen in Science-Fiction-Romanen der Zeit geschrieben, die McCaffrey als unrealistisch und stereotyp empfand. Restoree wurde gefolgt von vielen erfolgreichen Romanen, darunter die Dragonriders of Pern-Reihe und The Ship Who Sang, die McCaffreys Talent für Erzählung und Weltentwicklung zeigten.
Die Arbeit von McCaffrey erhielt weitreichende Anerkennung und Lob, wobei sie zahlreiche Auszeichnungen und Anerkennungen während ihrer Karriere erhielt. Sie wurde 2006 in die Science Fiction Hall of Fame aufgenommen und ihre Beiträge zum Genre wurden von Fans und Kollegen gleichermaßen gefeiert. McCaffrey verstarb am 21. November 2011 im Alter von 85 Jahren nach einem massiven Schlaganfall. Ihr Vermächtnis als bahnbrechende und einflussreiche Autorin lebt weiter und ihre Arbeit inspiriert und fasziniert immer noch Leser auf der ganzen Welt.
