That's why she's not well known. Everytime I hear Carl Sagan talk I hear her words in his voice, lol. Their styles were distinct, and the things most people remember from sagan were, regardless of whatever she says in self depricating mode, very clearly hers. Particularly the things he had to say about religion. She was the spiritual one, he was notorious for refusing to even discuss the matter. Yet, in their co-authored work, both in print and on film, we hear him ecstatically talking about the wondrous spiritual experience of science, the line "This is better than we thought" - attributed to Sagan...not his. She's still writing about that today.
