Oh, when I got into the car this morning there was a nice story about her on NPR. She seemed well ahead of her time.

One of the giants of the genre, and of writing in general.

I think just about everyone who has read Sci-Fiction in the last 50+ years has read some of her books.

"The Left Hand of Darkness" had such a huge influence on me when I was a teenager. I think I'm still realizing ways it spoke to me.

It’s my all time favorite book. I used to think, many years ago, that women didn’t write science fiction as well as men did. LeGuin blew that idea right out of my head.
