The Blazing World Audiobook (Free)

The Blazing Globe by Margaret Cavendish is, all at one time, a satire, a treatise on natural philosophy, a work of proto-science fiction, and a defiant venture right into a scientific world where women were not usually allowed. It tells the tale of a Female who is kidnapped by a man that attempts to sail away with her. Through divine disturbance, however, the ship is tossed into a storm and everyone but the Woman perishes. Blown up towards the North Pole, she inadvertently passes into to some other world, the Blazing World, where she actually is almost immediately produced supreme ruler. As the Lady begins to workout her will, Cavendish lays out her personal Utopia and discusses a wide range of medical, political, public, and religious topics. But when a battle breaks out in her home world, exactly what will the Lady perform with all power of the Blazing World behind her?
