Locus has her obituary here.
And as this blogger says: "Aside from her considerable talents as an author, Tepper stands as a reminder that it’s never too late to write. Tepper didn’t publish her first novel until 1983, when she was in her 54th year of life; she wrote something like 40 total, the most recent published in 2014. It’s never too late to write; it’s never too late to write a classic novel; it’s never too late to be a great writer, whether or not the genre has entirely caught up with you yet."
The Gate to Women's Country is in my top-10 books.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

hard to find; one of her earlier books.
I liked her but she did get on the soapbox a bit too much for my taste at times. Even though I agreed with her, I dislike being preached at.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the words begin to move around … The words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young.

I have read only a few of her books, and that was a long time ago, but I remember having enjoyed Grass, Beauty, The Gate to Women's Country and A Plague of Angels.
Maybe it's time for a re-read, and to find out what the local library has from her.
