Description
Margaret Cavendish was a woman ahead of her time. In this novel, she is brought to life in all her unconventional glory. A pioneering figure who challenged male dominance in the arts and sciences, Margaret's story has been unjustly neglected by history. Championed by her forward-thinking husband, Margaret was a trailblazer who defied expectations. Nicknamed 'Mad Madge' by her detractors, she remained undeterred in her pursuit of knowledge and creativity. Her legacy would later be celebrated by Virginia Woolf, who saw in Margaret a vision of loneliness and riot. This novel offers a fresh and intimate portrait of Margaret Cavendish, tumbling pell-mell across the pages with unbridled energy and ambition.
