dig in Peru’s Nazca Valley, co-authored a journal article on methodologies in cultural anthropology (Clements, Schenck, and Brown, 1926), published a collection of retellings of California Native American legends in 1959 (Kroeber, 2005), and later married the anthropologist Alfred Louis (A.L.) Kroeber, one of the most influential American cultural anthropologists of the first half of the 20th century." and "The influence of her parents’ involvement with anthropology on Le Guin’s upbringing, education, and intellectual development was therefore profound.". There are assuredly other citations available.

Hardly edit-warring! I'm not opposed in principle to the category, but we have no content in the article supporting it. I've read a lot of analysis of Le Guin's writing. Anarchism is a prominent theme, but it's not really analyzed relative to this book as far as I am aware. If anyone who wishes to

True that it's not yet an edit war, I just feared that it was heading in that direction. I agree that there should be reliable sources to justify including the category.
