    A great story that illustrates this question really well. It is by Ursula K. Le Guin, written in 1973, if anyone is wondering.

      Ursula K. Le Guin

      So pissed that she is not much more famous. Earthsea is one of the great fantasy stories that people tend to forget.

        It always strikes me how few female sci-fi and fantasy writers I’ve read. I’ve tried amending that mistake over the last couple of years but it’s not easy, especially when looking for books translated into more obscure languages.
