Book Description:

Offers a career-spanning look at Ursula Le Guin's engagement with modern gender theory and practice. This critical examination explores the masculinist nature of her early writing and how her work changed both thematically and aesthetically in the 1970s as a result of her newfound feminism. Of particular interest is her later phase, wherein Le Guin transitions to a more inclusive post-feminism, privileging unity and balance over separatism.
