==Life==
Born in 1936 in Jefferson City, Missouri,
She attended the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in the 1960s, and began writing science fiction in order to pay tuition. She gained a PhD in linguistics, and was the first UCSD student to ever write two dissertations (on English and Navajo). She created the engineered language Láadan for her ''Native Tongue'' science fiction series. A grammar and dictionary was published in 1985. She supported feminist science fiction, saying "women need to realize that SF is the only genre of literature in which it's possible for a writer to explore the question of what this world would be like if you could get rid of (), where () is filled in with any of the multitude of real world facts that constrain and oppress women. Women need to treasure and support science fiction."
In addition, she published works of shorter fiction. Overlying themes in her work include feminism, linguistics and the impact of language, and peaceful coexistence with nature. Many of her works also draw from her Ozark background and heritage.〔(Elgin blog ), ozarque.livejournal.com; accessed April 26, 2015.〕〔(Elgin biography ), sfwa.org; accessed April 26, 2015.〕
