Celebrated author Ursula K. Le Guin witnessed the rebellions and upheavals of the twentieth century, including women’s liberation, the civil rights movement and anti-war and environmental activism. Spanning fifty years of her life and work fighting for social and environmental justice, Space Crone brings together Le Guin’s writings on feminism and gender for the first time. Gathering speeches, essays and stories, Space Crone offers new insights into her imaginative, multispecies feminist consciousness: from its roots in her ecological and anti-war concerns, to her self-education about racism and her writing on motherhood and ageing.
Fascinating essays from a brilliantly inventive and original writer, giving insight into her views on feminism and the changing place of woman in society. The Fisherwoman’s Daughter was a fave.
Some of the issues are no longer as significant now - which is a good thing - but some are still very relevant. As a man I enjoy the hubris of deciding which is which.
