This article examines the anarcha-feminism in Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, with anarcha-feminism being a combination of anarchism seeking liberation from institutionalized power and feminism criticizing patriarchal ideology. The Dispossessed posits the possibility of an anarchic utopia as an alternative to the social reality of women’s oppression and marginalization in the real world, and the novel does so by presenting a society where patriarchy and gender discrimination exist and where equality and freedom are guaranteed. Le Guin frames issues related to sex, gender, discrimination, patriarchy, and motherhood from the perspective of anarcha-feminism, with various thought experimental ideas and Anarres’ Takver and Rulag showing the potential for new Subjects. However, Urras’ Vea is an oppressed female character who reproduces the violence inherent in a patriarchal social order and capitalism. This article explores the possibility of anarcha-feminism by considering the social orders in the novel while also analyzing topics such as patriarchal ideology and gender discrimination in regard to the female figures of the two worlds.
