Because of her excellent contribution to the English Literature and her efforts in the upliftment of the status of women in the society through her written works, Tepper is famously known as a feminist writer of science fiction novels, mostly with an ecofeminist slant.

Orde, etc. Other than these, Tepper used the name Sheri S. Eberhart for writing and publishing her earlier works.

After years of hard work, she was able to lead a successful life and establish herself as a popular author of different genres of novels.

She is basically the type of author who writes about what she cares for deeply and hopes to awaken the thinking of the readers to face the hard realities of the history and the present time.

    Thank you for this. Just starting on Ms. Tepper, and she’s so prolific I’d get lost facing an overwhelming pile of titles without the clear and comprehensive help of this list.
