"Rereading for the umpteenth time. Never tire of Le Guin. The essay on abortion alone is worth its weight in gold; I wish I could make every blessed soul in the world read it. And her writing is passionate and dry and wonderful, and I do not tire of it."
"This is such intelligent, engrossing writing. I made my husband listen to me read several of the essays outloud so that I could discuss them with him. If you are a woman, or know one, do yourself a favor and read this. You might not agree with what she says, but she makes coherent, passionate arguments that are worth your time."
