Mary E. Bradley Lane
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Mary E. Bradley Lane (July 3, 1844, St Mary's, Ohio – January 6, 1930, Hamilton County, Ohio) was an American feminist science fiction teacher and author. She was one of the first women to have published a science fiction novel in the United States.[1]
Her novel, Mizora: A Prophecy, was first published in 1880, as a serial in a Cincinnati newspaper, and has remained remarkable for the radicalism of the feminist utopia presented, against 19th century societal norms.[2][3] She published a second novel in 1895, entitled Escanaba, which however remains lost.[4]
