She had a very long life and gained considerable critical recognition of her work even when she was elderly.

While I never read her much (I did read the Earthsea Trilogy, and liked it well enough), one of my best friends decided to study cultural / folk anthropology at the graduate level thanks to Le Guin's The Language of the Night.

This is her memoriam post: https://www.swantower.com/2018/01/24/in-memoriam-ursulae/

RIP. (Though TBH, I thought she has already passed some time ago)

The only work of her that I've read is The Lathe of Heaven, but it was quite nice (even watched 2 different movie adaptations of it).
