'The Dispossessed' - Ursula K Le Guin

I remember that a couple of people wanted to hear what I thought of 'The Dispossessed' by Ursula K Le Guin when I mentioned reading it for a Women in Sci-fi readalong.

Many moons later I've written something up. It's not quite a review, instead I lay out a summary of the book's central theme, with a few analytical thoughts scattered about. I hope it provides some interesting thought jumping off places.

My thoughts are posted over at a newish space that
Ana, Renay and I started a few months ago, so we could talk about women in entertainment media and get to know more about each other. I'm really loving this space and I'm looking forward to everything it brings. Now that we're kind of comfy over there it seems like the right time to invite you all round to Lady Business. Here's my post on 'The Dispossessed'. Feel free to look around at what we've put up so far.

Excellent review and nice site. Glad you have finally come to your senses about Le Guin! ;)

I'm amazed at how much reading/blogging you can do in various places. Amazed.

And I love the tag line to Lady Business. I just sent it to my daughter--"pet the pretty feminist pony." She and her friends are fairly suspicious of that word, associating it with bra-burners of the 60s.

I love your new site - the tag line made me laugh and laugh. And sooooo great to see young women picking up the feminist torch and running with it so gracefully.

Note to self: MUST read le Guin.

Stefanie I know, I know I was so mistaken :P

Jeanne I think it's because I don't have a partner, or kids (and I take regular lunch breaks every day without fail). I'm always amazed by bloggers who get up regular posts when they have kids.

litlove feminism is AWESOME!:)
