This title brings together for the first time celebrated author Ursula K. Le Guin’s writings on feminism and gender. Witness to the twentieth century’s rebellions and upheavals, in cluding women’s liberation, the civil rights movement and anti-war and environmental activism, Le Guin continued to fight for social and environmental justice throughout her life. The book shows the development of Le Guin’s expansive, multilayered and deeply radical feminist consciousness.Famous for her experiments in imagining society where gender is irrelevant in novels such as The Left Hand of Darkness, Le Guin’s feminism kept ahead of the times to reimagine gender in a non-essentialising way. Her feminism developed from its roots in her ecological, anti-war and anti-nuclear activism, to her self-education about racism and her writing about ageing. Show more
