I've been working my way through the Earthsea books by Ursula K Le Guin.
The original trilogy or those three plus the extra book she wrote years later to apologise for the misogyny of the first three? I loved those books as a kid but even then I thought "Weak as women's magic, wicked as women's magic" was a bit odd.
Still venerate the original trilogy, fwiw, despite knowing even more how dodgy they were in that respect.

I've been working my way through the Earthsea books by Ursula K Le Guin. I've finished all of the novels and am on to the last of the related short stories. With the exception of The Other Wind which was just "alright", I've loved them all. I'm not massively in to fantasy, I've read the Lord of The Rings books and not much else. I love Le Guin though. They're not super cheesy and get pretty dark in places, a lot more so than I was expecting. I might have to reread them sooner rather than later.
