Angélica Gorodischer (born Buenos Aires, 28 July 1928) is an Argentine writer known for her collection of short stories, which belong to a wide variety of genres, including science-fiction, fantasy, crime and stories with a feminist perspective. 〔(Biography )〕 〔(Biography ) (Spanish)〕 ==Biography== Born in Buenos Aires, Gorodischer has lived in Rosario since she was eight, and this city appears very frequently in her work. In 2007 the city council of Rosario awarded her the title of Illustrious Citizen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-02-06 )〕 In the English-speaking world Gorodischer might be best known for ''Kalpa Imperial'' (In Argentina volume 1 appeared in 1983 and both volumes by 1984). Its English translation came in 2003 by United States speculative fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin. A collection of short stories, it details the history of a vast imaginary empire through tales of fantasy, fable, and allegory. It does this in a way that gained in many admirers who deem it to be one of the finest genre work of Argentina. It also gained supporters in the English-speaking world. A part of the work appeared as a story in the American anthology ''Starlight 2''. 〔("Stories Among the Ruins: Angelica Gorodischer's ''Kalpa Imperial''" ) by John Garrison, January 19, 2004, ''Strange Horizons''〕 She also produced many works before ''Kalpa Imperial'' including the collections ''Opus dos'' (two, 1967 ), ''Bajo las jubeas en flor'' (the Flowering Jubeas, 1973 ), and ''Casta Luna Electronica'' (Electric Moon, 1977 ). She was a science fiction author noted for her work about the differences of power among men and women. She focused on the pros and cons of people in power and wrote about corrupt rulers. Gorodischer is author of two novels within the genre of detective fiction. Gorodischer has created an intriguing detective persona; she is a female grand dame who reluctantly and haphazardly engages in the world of international intrigue. She made her literary debut in 1985 in Gorodischer’s short fictional tale or noveleta entitled ''Floreros de alabastro, alfombras de Bokhara'',reappearing later in different form in ''Jugo de mango'' (1988).〔Garcia Chichester, Ana. “Representing the Female Sleuth: Logic and Femininity in Angélica Gorodischer’s Floreros de alabastro, alfombras de Bokhara.” In ''Identity, Nation and Discourse: Latin American Women Writers and Artists''.
