Space Cadet (novel)/YMMV


 * Fair for Its Day: Well before the Civil Rights Movement picked up steam, Heinlein takes pains to depict the Space Patrol as being staffed by all races and creeds. Of course it's still an all male force...
 * Given that Patrol ships take months to get from planet to planet and are very small the logistics of a mixed force would be highly problematic regardless of the feelings of the author, and Heinlein's worldbuilding would never handwave away details like that. Goodness knows that the normal body of his work went well out of its way to depict women as intelligent, capable, and equal to men in any context not greatly affected by biological differences.
