If you're familiar with Canadian science fiction you may have read some of Phyllis Gottlieb's work. She passed away on July 15 at age 83, leaving behind her husband and three children, as well as a legacy of poetry and science fiction that the science fiction and fantasy community pay homage to.
In mainstream media, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and National Post recognized her contributions to literature and the SciFi genre, as well as the fact that she helped lead the way for Canadian authors into the U.S. science fiction markets.
IO9 and SF Crows Nest paid tribute with brief obituaries of their own.
Best wishes to her loved ones for their loss.
