delilah and the space rigger

Delilah and the Space Rigger, a science fiction short story by Robert A. Heinlein, is arguably one of the best feminist works of fiction ever written by a male author. It concerns a senior radio technician who joins the crew building a space station, and her dispute with the contractor who doesn't want any women aboard "sniffing around my boys." The contractor is constantly putting his foot in his mouth with remarks like, "Listen to Jones, he's a good man" only to hear a brisk retort like, "I know, I trained him."
