This review is from: Mizora: A Prophecy (Writing American Women) (Paperback)

While you are reading this book, keep in mind it was written in 1880!

The author reveals a lot about herself and women of that time. She is imaginative, idealistic, writes well and you might want to keep a list of things that have come true now, from the far future world she depicts. Along with air travel, high speed trains, shopping malls, television, she even imagines a form of the internet and Skype. Oh yes, she even describes roads paved with a special kind of glass. Guess what? There is a current proposal out there, to do that very thing!

I enjoyed this immensely!

PS She was probably lesbian, or at the very least had issues with men or a husband or father.!
