Her fantasy novel series "The Legend of Earthsea" has attracted worldwide attention and won the nebula award and Hugo award.
If Mrs. mary shelley, who wrote the world's first science fiction novel Frankenstein (18 18), is regarded as a special case, then in the following 100 years, science fiction has simply become the exclusive domain of men, and women's voices are almost weak. However, this situation changed in the 1960s, and a powerful challenger appeared. With a series of successful works, she planted a flag symbolizing the rise of female science fiction writers in men's territory. The great challenger is Ursula Le Quinn.
The name Le Quinn is not unfamiliar to most sci-fi fans, although there are almost no Chinese translations of her works. As early as the early 1980s, she was introduced by magazines. During her visit to China, Han, a famous British scholar, also recommended Le Guien to the publishing house that was keen on sci-fi publishing at that time, and thought that her "Dark Left Hand" was one of the most worthy novels to be translated into Chinese. But it was not until last year that this classic work was translated into Chinese by the book editing room of Science Fiction World magazine (see Autumn Issue of Science Fiction World Supplement 99).
