I used to love Bradley's stories when I was growing up. I think she's probably ushered a hell of a lot of girls into a conscious awareness of gender realities and gender questions, over the years.

I havent read anything of hers since I was around 17. I might revisit Avalon and (most especially) Darkover sometime. I'm intrigued to see where the writers who followed took the narrative.

I've just been wiki-ing Darkover and reminding myself of the stories. Shattered Chain really impacted with me when I first read it. I must have been about 13 or so. Nice memory trip!
