As one of the first writers to explore the emerging phenomenon of cybersex in Virtual Spaces: Sex and the Cyber Citizen, Odzer also cemented her status as a forward-thinking chronicler of human behavior.

Through her fearless exploration of taboo topics and unconventional worlds, she left a legacy that continues to inspire anthropologists, sociologists, and readers curious about the complexities of human culture.
