Fantasy Novelist Ursula Le Guin, Who Explored Resistance & Change, Dies at Age 88

Celebrated fantasy novelist Ursula Le Guin has died at the age of 88. The feminist writer was the author of more than 20 novels, more than a dozen collections of poetry and another dozen children's books. Among her most famous works was her 1969 novel "The Left Hand of Darkness," which is set on a planet where people are "ambisexual"-neither male nor female-and contains one of the most famous sentences ever written in a fantasy novel: "The King was pregnant." Ursula Le Guin's 1974 novel "The Dispossessed" is also one of the most celebrated explorations of utopia, dystopia, capitalism, anarchism and oppression.
