She was noted for thefeministperspective in her writing.

In 1990, Bradley's husband,Walter Breen,was arrested forchild sexual abuse.Though Bradley remained popular during her lifetime, her reputation was posthumously marred. In 2014, 15 years after Bradley's death, her daughter Moira Greyland said that Bradley not only had been aware of Breen's child molestation activities but had also sexually abused her. In response to the allegations, the publisher of Bradley's digital backlist began donating all income from her e-books to the charitySave the Children.Several science fiction authors have since publicly condemned Bradley.

Personal life[edit]

Born Marion Eleanor Zimmer on June 3, 1930, she lived on a farm inAlbany, New York,and began writing at the age of 17.[1]She was married to Robert Alden Bradley from October 26, 1949, until their divorce on May 19, 1964. They had a son, David Robert Bradley (1950–2008). During the 1950s she was introduced tolesbianadvocacy organization theDaughters of Bilitis.[2]

After her divorce, Bradley marriednumismatistWalter H. Breenon June 3, 1964. They had a daughter, Moira Greyland, who is a professionalharpistand singer,[3]and a son, Mark Greyland.[4]Moira's son, RJ Stern, is a college football player who was featured on season 5 ofLast Chance UonNetflix.[5]

In 1965, Bradley graduated with aBachelor of Artsdegree fromHardin-Simmons UniversityinAbilene, Texas.Afterward, she moved toBerkeley, California,to pursue graduate studies at theUniversity of California, Berkeleybetween 1965 and 1967. In 1966, with her brotherPaul Edwin Zimmer,she helped found and name theSociety for Creative Anachronismand was involved in developing several local groups, some in New York after her move toStaten Island.[6][7]

Bradley and Breen separated in 1979 but remained married, and continued a business relationship and lived on the same street for over a decade. They officially divorced on May 9, 1990, the year Breen was arrested onchild molestationcharges after a 13-year-old boy reported that Breen had been molesting him for four years.[8]She had edited Breen's bookGreek Love(published pseudonymously), which was dedicated to her (named simply as "[his] wife" ), and in 1965 had contributed an article, "Feminine Equivalents of Greek Love in Modern Literature", to Breen's journalThe International Journal of Greek Love.[9][10]She allegedly had knowledge of Breen's sexual interests and was said to have accepted his sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy.[11]

Literary career[edit]

Bradley stated that when she was a child she enjoyed reading adventure fantasy authors such asHenry Kuttner,Edmond Hamilton,C.L. Moore,andLeigh Brackett,[12]especially when they wrote about "the glint of strange suns on worlds that never were and never would be". Her first novel and much of her subsequent work show their influence strongly. At 17, she began her first novelThe Forest House,her retelling ofNorma;she finished it before her death.[6]

Bradley made her first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest inAmazing Storiesin 1949 with the short story "Outpost". "Outpost" was published inAmazing StoriesVol. 23, No. 12, the December 1949 issue; it had previously appeared in the fanzineSpacewarpVol. 4, No. 3, in December 1948. Her first professional publication was a short story "Women Only", which appeared in the second (and final) issue ofVortex Science Fictionin 1953.[13]Her first published novel-length work wasFalcons of Narabedla,first published in the May 1957 issue ofOther Worlds.

Cover ofI Am a Lesbianpublished by Marion Zimmer Bradley under the pseudonym Lee Chapman.Monarch Book,1962.

Early in her career, writing as Morgan Ives, Miriam Gardner, John Dexter, and Lee Chapman, Bradley produced several works outside thespeculative fictiongenre, includinggayandlesbian pulp fictionnovels;I Am a Lesbianwas published in 1962. Though relatively tame by today's standards, her novels were consideredpornographicwhen published.[14]

Her 1958 novelThe Planet Saversintroduced the planet ofDarkover,which became the setting of a popular series by Bradley and other authors. The Darkover milieu is ascience fantasyfictional world, with science fiction as well as fantasy overtones: Darkover is a lost humancolonywherepsi powersdeveloped to an unusual degree, and work like magic, while technology has regressed to a more-or-less medieval stage. Bradley wrote many Darkover novels by herself, but in her later years collaborated with other authors for publication; her literary collaborators have continued the series since her death. Bradley took an active role in science fiction and fantasyfandom,promoting interaction with professional authors and publishers and making several important contributions to the subculture. In her teens she wrote letters to the pulp magazines of the time, such as the above-mentionedAmazing StoriesandThrilling Wonder Stories.Starting in the late 1940s and continuing in the 1950s and 1960s, she published her own fanzines, includingAstra's Tower,Day*Star,andAnything Box.She also co-edited fanzines, includingUgly BirdwithRedd Boggs,MEZRABwith her first husband Robert Bradley, andAllerleiwith her second husband Walter Breen. Bradley contributed to several other fanzines, includingThe GorgonandThe Nekromantikon.In the 1970s, as part of the contemporary wave of enthusiasm forJ. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world ofMiddle-earth,she wrote two shortfanficstories aboutArwenand published them inchapbookformat. One story, "The Jewel of Arwen" (originally published in a different form in the fanzineI Palantir#2, August 1961), appeared in her professional anthologyThe Best of Marion Zimmer Bradley(1985), but was dropped from later reprints. She continued to contribute to different science fiction and fantasy fanzines and magazines throughout her career.[citation needed][15]

In 1966, Bradley became a co-founder of theSociety for Creative Anachronismand is credited with coining the name of that group.[16]

For many years, Bradley actively encouraged Darkoverfan fiction.She encouraged submissions from unpublished authors and reprinted some of it in commercial Darkover anthologies. This ended after a dispute with a fan over an unpublished Darkover novel of Bradley's that had similarities to one of the fan's stories. As a result, the novel remained unpublished and Bradley demanded the cessation of all Darkover fan fiction.[17]

Bradley was the editor of the long-runningSword and Sorceressanthologyseries, which encouraged submissions of fantasy stories featuring original and non-traditional heroines from young and upcoming authors. Although she particularly encouraged young female authors, she was not averse to including stories from men in her anthologies.Mercedes Lackeywas one of many authors who first appeared in the anthologies. Bradley also maintained a large family of writers at her home inBerkeley, California.Following Bradley's death, the anthology was edited by Elizabeth Waters and continued until 2019.[18]

Her most famous single novel may beThe Mists of Avalon,[19]a retelling of theCamelotlegend from the point of view ofMorgaineandGwenhwyfar.It grew into a series of books and, like the Darkover series, the later novels are written with or by other authors and have continued to appear since Bradley's death.[20]

Bradley was posthumously awarded theWorld Fantasy Awardfor lifetime achievement in 2000.[21]

Religion[edit]

While she was attending the College for Teachers (nowUniversity at Albany, SUNY) in Albany, Bradley became involved inWestern esoteric tradition.She later completed aRosicruciancorrespondence course.[7]

In the late 1950s or early 1960s, Bradley andWalter H. Breenfounded the Aquarian Order of the Restoration based on the work ofDion Fortune.[7][22]By 1961 she was formally initiating others, including Ramfis S. Firethorn.[23]: 313 [who?]

Bradley was active in Darkmoon Circle, which was founded in 1978 by several women who were members of her Aquarian Order of the Restoration. Bradley renovated her garage to provide a meeting room for Darkmoon Circle as well as for other local Pagan groups.[24]In 1981 Bradley,Diana L. Paxson,and Elisabeth Waters incorporated the Center for Non-Traditional Religion.[7]

In the 1990s Bradley said she would return toChristianity,telling an interviewer: "I just go regularly to theEpiscopalian church... That pagan thing... I feel that I've gotten past it. I would like people to explore the possibilities. "[25]

Death[edit]

After suffering declining health for years, Bradley died atAlta Bates Medical Centerin Berkeley on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering aheart attack.[1]Her ashes were later scattered atGlastonbury TorinSomerset,England.[23]: 28–29 

Child sex abuse allegations[edit]

In 2000, shortly after Bradley's death, authorStephen Goldin,the stepfather of a boy who had been molested byWalter Breen,started a website claiming that Bradley had been fully aware of her husband's crimes and made no effort to report them or protect his victims.[26]

In 2014, Moira Greyland, the daughter of Bradley and Breen, accused Bradley of sexual abuse from the age of 3 to 12. In an email toThe Guardian,Greyland said that she had not spoken out before because "I thought that my mother's fans would be angry with me for saying anything against someone who had championed women's rights and made so many of them feel differently about themselves and their lives. I didn't want to hurt anyone she had helped, so I just kept my mouth shut".[27]

Greyland also confirmed Goldin's statements by saying that Bradley was aware of her husband's behavior and chose not to report him.[26]Greyland reported that she was not the only victim and that she was one of the people who reported her father for child molestation, for which he received multiple convictions.[27][28][29]

In December 2017 Bradley's daughter published a detailed biography of her mother, including her pedophilia and sexual abuse, in a book entitledThe Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon.[30]

Additionally, according to Greyland, Bradley assisted Breen (her husband at the time) in accessing and abusing multiple unrelated young boys, knowing he was a pedophile who was engaging in sexual contact with children as young as eight. Greyland states that Bradley and her live-in female partner (whom Greyland refers to as her step-mother) both admitted to knowledge of the abuse and purposefully avoided investigating, questioning, or notifying any authorities. Bradley was also accused of attempting to adopt a child whom Breen was interested in sexually.[31]

In response to these allegations, on July 2, 2014,Victor Gollancz Ltd,the publisher of Bradley's digital backlist, began donating all income from the sales of Bradley's e-books to the charitySave the Children.[32]Janni Lee Simnerdonated advances and royalties from her two Darkover short stories and, at the request of her husband, Larry Hammer, payment for his sale to Bradley's magazine, to the American anti-sexual assault organizationRape, Abuse & Incest National Network.[33]

A number of science fiction authors have publicly condemned Bradley. Among the first wasJohn Scalzi,who expressed his horror within a day of the allegations being made public.[34]Hugo AwardwinnerJim C. Hineswrote that Bradley's positive effect on her readers and associates "makes the revelations about Marion Zimmer Bradley protecting a known child rapist and molesting her own daughter and others even more tragic."[35]G Willow Wilson,who along with Bradley is a fellowWorld Fantasy Awardwinner, said she was "speechless".[36]Diana L. Paxson,who collaborated with Bradley on a number of novels and who continued to write novels set in theAvalon Seriesafter Bradley's death, said that she was "shocked and appalled to read Moira Greyland's posts about her mother... I never personally observed, nor had any reason to suspect, that (Bradley) was abusing either of her children."[37]
