Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, published a wide variety of works including poems, plays, letters and treatises of natural philosophy, but her significance as a political writer has only recently been recognised. This major contribution to the series of Cambridge Texts includes the first ever modern edition of her Divers Orations on English social and political life, together with a new student-friendly rendition of her imaginary voyage, A New World called the Blazing World. Susan James explains the allusions made in this classic text, and directs readers to the many intellectual debates with which Cavendish engages. Together these two works reveal the character and scope of Margaret Cavendish's political thought. She emerges as a singular and probing writer, who simultaneously upholds a conservative social and political order and destabilises it through her critical and unresolved observations about natural philosophy, scientific institutions, religion, and the relations between men and women.

What is it like to be a woman in Nigeria? Ada can tell you all about it – the good, the bad and the ugly. A bright and happy school student, her life changed out of all recognition on the day her parents announced that they were unable to pay for her further education. For the good of the family, they said, she was to marry, aged sixteen, an older man she had never met before. Trapped in the bonds created by tradition, what could one young girl do to fight for her freedom? In this moving, fictional account of one woman’s struggle, Barclays Amadi lays bare the limitations and hardships forced on women in a traditional, male-dominated society – and sets out the steps being taken by courageous, forward-thinking individuals to pursue the fight for equality. Barclays N Amadi is a London-based barrister with a speciality in criminal law and the administration of justice and a keen interest in gender issues. He is an expert in strategic management and creative capitalism and, before joining the legal profession, he held management positions in the private and public sectors in Nigeria and the UK.
