[Rec] "Sisterhood" -- The Dispossessed
Jan. 26th, 2018 01:22 pmI kept forgetting to post about this, which is a shame because it's a GREAT story, but better late than never. Anyway, a rec! ...And, I suppose, something of a memorial for Le Guin. :(

This is an absolutely wonderful story about a young woman attempting to navigate a foreign and painful culture, while simultaneously dealing with some family stress and reevaluating her own culture and world.
transposable_element shows sides of Urras and A-Io that Shevek never saw (because he's male, because he was considered "high status," because he's a relatively self-contained personality and didn't ask or look) and draws a realistic and sympathetic portrait of Pilun coming of age and learning who she wants to be and what she wants to do in her worlds.
Go read it and tell the writer what you think!
