SIM Ep 896 Chops 273: The wild life of Margaret Cavendish

If you don't know a huge amount about the English Civil War, join the club.

Hannah got on the Zoom with Francesca to learn about how the war affected Margaret's life, and what that life can tell us about marriage, infertility, literature, fashion and feminism in the 17th century.
