On this day, 21 October 1929, anarchist, feminist, poet and world-renowned sci-fi and fantasy novelist Ursula K. Le Guin was born in Berkeley, California. Le Guin produced a huge body of work, including seminal novels like The Dispossessed, and maintained her radical views right up until her death in 2018. And she was always keen to remind people not to lose hope: that however bleak the situation appears, we can make a difference. This came across in a particularly powerful way in her 2014 speech at the national book awards: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
We are very happy to be able to make available some of her little-known works in our online store, as well as a t-shirt featuring part of this quotation with permission from Le Guin’s foundation.
