The Left Hand Of Darkness
The Terrans have sent a landing party to Gethran and what they find are a people outside their realm of understanding. Ong Tot Oppong's field notes reveal that "our entire pattern of socio-sexual interaction is non-existent here. The Gethenians do not see one another as men or women. This is almost impossible for our imaginations to accept. There is no division of humanity into strong and weak. One is respected and judged only as a human being...it is an appalling experience for a Terran."
"What got me was the quality of the story-telling. She's taken mythology, psychology -- the entire creative surround -- and woven it into a jewel of a story." --Frank Herbert
