Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, was a remarkable and scandalous seventeenth-century writer who defied convention and advocated for women in work that predates the feminist movement. Born in 1623 to a wealthy family, she joined the court of Queen Henrietta Maria at Oxford and later followed the court into exile in France, where she met her lifelong partner, William Cavendish, Marquess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Cavendish was a revolutionary writer who wrote passionately on gender, science, and philosophy, defied convention by publishing under her own name, and advocated for women in work that predates the feminist movement. Her legacy divides opinion, and history has largely forgotten her. In Pure Wit, Francesca Peacock shines a spotlight on the fascinating, pioneering, yet often complex and controversial life of Margaret Cavendish.
