If the Dispossessed is commentary on the nuances of Communist socialism and capitalist greed, this is Le Guins dive into the nuances of the struggle for liberation and the intersection of gender, race, and class. The two middle stories, especially A Woman's Liberation, were outstanding reads, albeit harsh and painful. Definitely some trigger warnings here but just wow
