Margaret The First by Danielle Dutton
The book is a historical fiction novel that reimagines the life of a 17th-century English duchess, who was a pioneering female writer and intellectual. It delves into her passionate pursuits of literature, science, and philosophy, as well as her struggles with the societal constraints of her time. The narrative explores her eccentric and flamboyant life, her ambitions, and her desire for fame, while also painting a vivid picture of the courtly and literary worlds of the English Restoration period. The protagonist's story is one of both triumph and tragedy, as she seeks recognition in a world that is not quite ready to accept her brilliance and individuality.
