She also edited the long-running Sword and Sorceress anthology series. In 2000, she was posthumously honored with the World Fantasy Award for lifetime accomplishment. Her daughter Moira accused her of sexual assault in 2014, and Bradley was made aware of her second husband, Walter H. Breen,'s child molestation operations.
