Space Crone

Space Crone brings together celebrated author Ursula K. Le Guins writings on feminism and gender. Witness to the twentieth centurys rebellions and upheavals, including womens liberation, the civil rights movement and anti-war and environmental activism, Le Guin continued to fight for social and environmental justice throughout her life. Famous for her experiments in imagining society where gender is irrelevant in novels such as The Left Hand of Darkness, Le Guins feminism kept ahead of the times to reimagine gender in a non-essentialising way. Space Crone shows the development of Le Guins expansive, multi-layered and deeply radical feminist consciousness from its roots in her ecological, anti-war and anti-nuclear activism, to her self-education about racism and her writing about ageing.
