While the light on Ms. Lessing's work is mostly emphasizing her pioneering role as feminist and socialist, it is worth noting that Ms. Lessing contributed immensely to the fantasy/Sci.Fi genre, through some of the finest works of her time.

In the extraordinary career of Doris Lessing no work has been more ambitious or more startling.  <I>Shikasta</I> refuses to be confined within the Western view of history and culture, suggesting that the West is not necessarily seen by other cultures as flatteringly as it sees itself.  Can it be classed as space fiction?  Perhaps as sociological space fiction, that hybrid genre which takes present or potential social and psychological possibilities to their logical conclusions so that we may examine them, and with determination refuse, or modify, and master them.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/491BE089-D9A7-4544-AFC5-33F9154878F0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
