Octavia E. Butler was a pioneer of science fiction and a trailblazer for Afrofuturism. From her early days as a shy, introverted bookworm to becoming the first science fiction writer to receive a MacArthur "Genius" Grant, Butler's work has left an indelible mark on the literary world.
She also was... anything but heterosexual? Friends claimed she was a lesbian. Butler proclaimed herself a hermit. We'll get between the covers and not under the sheets with Butler as we find out more about her life, legacy and mysterious personal life.
Kickass Queers shares the incredible life stories of amazing lesbian, gay, transgender, gender-nonconforming and otherwise queer people.
