Anne McCaffrey è stata una autrice americano-irlandese acclamata, nota principalmente per i suoi lavori nei generi di fantascienza, fantasy e planetary romance. È maggiormente conosciuta per la sua serie Dragonriders of Pern e per il romanzo, The Ship Who Sang. Nata il 1 aprile 1926 a Cambridge, Massachusetts, McCaffrey era la figlia di George Herbert McCaffrey, laureato alla Columbia University e Colonnello nell'Esercito degli Stati Uniti, e Anne Dorothy McElroy McCaffrey, agente immobiliare. È stata educata alla Stuart Hall di Staunton, Virginia, alla Montclair High School di Montclair, New Jersey, e si è laureata cum laude al Radcliffe College, specializzandosi in Lingue e Letterature Slavoni.
La carriera di scrittrice di McCaffrey è iniziata sul serio dopo che i suoi figli erano a scuola, e la sua prima storia è stata pubblicata da Sam Moskowitz in Science Fiction + Magazine. Il suo primo romanzo, Restoree, è stato pubblicato da Ballantine Books nel 1967 ed ha rappresentato un momento significativo nella sua carriera. Il romanzo è stato scritto come protesta contro la rappresentazione delle donne nei romanzi di fantascienza dell'epoca, che McCaffrey ha trovato irrealistici e stereotipati. Restoree è stato seguito da molti romanzi di successo, tra cui quelli della serie Dragonriders of Pern e The Ship Who Sang, che hanno mostrato il talento di McCaffrey per la narrazione e la costruzione di mondi.
Il lavoro di McCaffrey ha ricevuto un riconoscimento e una lode diffusi, guadagnandole numerosi premi e onorificenze durante la sua carriera. È stata introdotta nella Science Fiction Hall of Fame nel 2006, e i suoi contributi al genere sono stati celebrati da fan e colleghi. McCaffrey ci ha lasciati il 21 novembre 2011, all'età di 85 anni, dopo aver subito un ictus massiccio. La sua eredità come autrice pionieristica e influente vive ancora, e il suo lavoro continua a ispirare e affascinare i lettori in tutto il mondo.
