Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673), was a poet, philosopher, essayist and playwright who published under her own name at time when most women writers remained anonymous. She was the first woman to attend at meeting of the Royal Society, and an advocate of women's education. She insisted that her own works would have been even better had she been educated in the same manner as her brothers.
