I read it in the 80s and it was absolutely groundbreaking at the time, and paved the way for a ton of feminist (or even just female-centered, depending on your definition of feminist) re-imaginings of myths and legends. It was really mind-blowing to see all these purely male-centered stories turned on their heads. Not that she was the only writer doing this - you can go all the way back to poets like HD for that - but she was the first to kick it into the mainstream. It influenced a whole generation of gothy teenage girls to start writing our own stories, long before fanfic was easily available.

So it was a real stab in the guts to find out what MZB was really like.
