Fairmont native Doris Piserchia broke ground as a female sci-fi writer in a male-dominated field, inspired by the woods of her childhood and her Navy service. Known for novels like A Billion Days of Earth and Star Rider, she explored time travel, gender equality, and societal structures. Her 1982 novel Blood County, blending Appalachian folklore and sci-fi, helped create a new subgenre. Though she retired early, her work was ahead of its time and remains influential.
