May she fly golden on the other wind

I have only read one of her books, The Left Hand of Darkness, but I was impressed. I thought the science was pretty good; it was not just fantasy. It was quite political. I liked the mythology and culture she invented for inhabitants of her Winter planet. iirc each chapter would be prefixed by a mythological or religious tale.
