minus-squaregapbetweenus@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months ago Ursula K. Le Guin So pissed that she is not much more famous. Earthsea is one of the great fantasy stories that people tend to forget.
minus-squareAsimov's Robot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·11 months agoIt always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I’ve read. I’ve tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it’s not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.
minus-squaregapbetweenus@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoNow that you say it - her sci-fi is also up there with the best. Did you find any other interesting female sci-fi authors?
minus-squareAsimov's Robot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoYes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I’ve read. I also read Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.
