If I recall correctly, it was her first sale. That makes her one of the very few (RAH and
Lifeline being the only other that crosses my mind at the moment) to write a classic on the first try.
Her work and Kuttner's are both well worth reading, as are their "Lewis Padgett" collaborations. They're one of the reasons I dislike the modern trend toward massive wordiness, which echoes back to the 19th-century novels that I also dislike: someone like Moore could get more into one short story than some writers can pack into a novel.
