"Although Le Guin told Den of Geek that she doesn’t think about her legacy “much” and that she wants to keep writing “so long as I can [...] what becomes of it is not up to me,” she admits that concerns over how one’s work will be remembered are still relevant:
'I said that ["who is going to keep me alive?"] specifically talking about what happens to women writers. They get disappeared very quickly, so often and so unjustly. Then there has to be this laborious attempting to bring them back, sometimes succeeding and sometimes not. There is a real injustice there. It’s awful to think that you might just get sort of swept off the map simply because you were a woman writer instead of a man writer. You know, what the hell?'"
