About the author

Dorothy de Courcy is a little-known science fiction writer remembered mainly through collaborations with John de Courcy. Project Gutenberg lists three works by the pair — Foundling on Venus, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, and Goma's Follicles — which helps confirm her place in pulp-era speculative fiction.

Because reliable biographical information about her is scarce in the sources available here, much of her personal life remains unclear. What can be said with confidence is that her name is attached to a small body of science fiction that has continued to circulate among classic genre readers.

No confirmed portrait of Dorothy de Courcy was available from the sources checked for this overview, so a profile image is not included.
