She did an interview in New Scientist in 2008 about how she categorized science fiction. And she wrote something about it in an essay collection about how she sees her books (speculative fiction, rather than science fiction). Then Ursula K. Le Guin had an article in The Guardian in 2009 reviewing a couple of Atwood's books, where she called Atwood's categorization an "arbitrarily restrictive definition designed to protect her novels from being relegated to a genre still shunned by hidebound readers, reviewers and prize-awarders. She doesn't want the literary bigots to shove her in the literary ghetto."

I got this from the Introduction in Atwood's In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination (https://books.google.com/books?id=8hOBecTcjtcC&pg=PA7#v=onepage&q&f=false)
