A Russian exile is carried into Mizora, a hidden land beneath the pole peopled entirely by women, a serene, scientifically advanced civilization that long ago dispensed with men.

Mary E. Bradley Lane's 1889 novel is a pioneering feminist utopia and lost-world romance, remarkable for its era. Provocative, imaginative, historically significant. Read it for a landmark all-female utopia, one of the earliest and boldest visions of a world remade without men.
