Mrs. George Corbett 2 hr 55 min read

Enraged by a magazine's contempt for women, a Victorian writer dreams her way into New Amazonia, a future Ireland where women rule and a healthier, freer society has been built.

Mrs. George Corbett's 1889 novel is a spirited feminist utopia responding to the anti-suffrage sentiment of its day. Sharp, ambitious, historically significant. Read it for an early feminist vision of a woman-governed future, born of one writer's overmastering rage.
