You know, when I read these books, I was so used to NOT seeing women heroes in my favorite books that I just read Ged as female and ignored the rest. Reading them now, I get angry at the sexism or just the absence of women. I know that in the more recently published Earthsea books, Le Guin has attempted a sort of revisionist history of her own world, putting women in places of power and even revealing 'witches' to be the true wizards in a few wizarding legends mentioned in the first books.

Are you reading on or stopping at Tombs?

Also, am I even allowed in here? *looks around* Sorry, came in through your LJ, [livejournal.com profile] thelastgoodname.
