Ursula K. LeGuin, Dragonfly
Posted : 18 years ago on 21 May 2006 05:03Earthsea from a feminist point of view.
Dragonfly tells the story of a young woman, brought up in the countryside, who one day meets with a wizard from Roke. Following his advice, she goes to the mage city disguised as a man and tries to enter the famous school of wizards.
Written some eight years after the last book of Earthsea, Tehanu, this is a highly enjoyable short story about the place of women in a world ruled my men.
