Set in a patriarchal society, this closet drama critiques marriage while exploring lesbian desire through Lady Happy, who invites her friends to join a cloister focused on autonomy and friendship. The women face opposition from men and a skeptical figure, yet they form a strong bond and challenge societal norms. The arrival of a mysterious Princess adds intrigue to their quest for love and freedom. Published under Margaret Cavendish's name, this work stands as a pioneering piece of queer utopian literature, inspiring generations of artists and critics.
