Drift off to Dreamland with us as we read "The Blazing World" by Margaret Cavendish from 1666, considered to be the first science fiction book written by a woman. It's a fascinating glimpse into the ideas of science and philosophy at that time. The book will be read in order, so if you would like to begin at the beginning, please start with Season 5, Episode 87.

In our previous episode, the Empress and the author visit the author's world.
