Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon

A First Contact story with one of the best protagonists I have read in recent years.💙 💜 💖 💗 

Ofelia was not allowed to have a proper education, she is old and thought useless. Despised by her family she is a burden. However she can teach anyone a thing or two about empathy and human culture. A lot of food for though here. At some point I thought who is more alien the "Aliens" or the other humans how treat Ofelia like she is useless. Themes: feminism, value of elderly people, education v life experience, slavery.
