What would happen to our culture if men ceased to exist? Mary E. Bradley Lane explores this question in *Mizora* , the first known feminist utopian novel written by a woman. Vera Zarovitch is a Russian noblewoman—heroic, outspoken, and determined. A political exile in Siberia, she escapes and flees north, eventually finding herself, adrift and exhausted, on a strange sea at the North Pole. Crossing a barrier of mist and brilliant light, Zarovitch is swept into the enchanted, inner world of Mizora. A haven of music, peace, universal education, and beneficial, advanced technology, Mizora is a world of women.

* Mizora* appeared anonymously in the *Cincinnati Commercial* in 1880 and 1881. Mary E. Bradley Lane concealed from her husband her role in writing the controversial story.
