I also recommend reading "Is Gender Necessary? Redux", an essay by Ursula that deals with her relationship to feminist critiques to The Left Hand of Darkness (for example, using male pronouns to signify genderlessness) and how her opinion of those critiques changed throughout the years. It's one of my favorite pieces of writing by her.
@Odo @Bebo Interesting to see her go back and clarify her thoughts over time in the essay. (I read the annotated version in Dreams Must Explain Themselves.
That sounds so interesting. I will definitely look it up. Saving the comment!
