Margaret the first / Danielle Dutton. by Dutton, Danielle, 1975- Catapult, 2016. Call #: FICTION DUT Subjects Newcastle, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of, 1624?-1674 -- Fiction.   Nobility -- Great Britain -- Fiction.   Women authors -- Fiction.   Exiles -- Fiction.   Eccentrics and eccentricities -- Fiction.   Great Britain -- History -- Civil War, 1642-1649 -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781936787357 (trade pbk.) 1936787350 (trade pbk.) Description:  167 p. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 161-163). Summary:  "Margaret the First dramatizes the life of Margaret Cavendish, the shy, gifted, and wildly unconventional 17th-century Duchess. The eccentric Margaret wrote and published volumes of poems, philosophy, feminist plays, and utopian science fiction at a time when 'being a writer' was not an option open to women. As one of the Queen’s attendants and the daughter of prominent Royalists, she was exiled to France when King Charles I was overthrown. As the English Civil War raged on, Margaret met and married William Cavendish, who encouraged her writing and her desire for a career. After the War, her work earned her both fame and infamy in England: at the dawn of daily newspapers, she was 'Mad Madge,' an original tabloid celebrity. Yet Margaret was also the first woman to be invited to the Royal Society of London--a mainstay of the Scientific Revolution--and the last for another two hundred years."--From publisher.
