Baby, You Were Great
"Baby, You Were Great" is a 1968 science fiction short story by American writer Kate Wilhelm. It was first published in Orbit 2.
Damon Knight—Wilhelm's husband—stated that "Baby, You Were Great" was inspired by his 1964 story, "Semper Fi", "with whose point of view Wilhelm disagreed", and that it is "in a sense, the same story [as 'Semper Fi', but] with an entirely different plot, setting, and cast of characters."
