- W1177884513 abstract "Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673) was a seventeenth-century writer and philosopher who pursued her own distinctive agenda in the earliest moments of modern science. She is a striking example of a female voice who wanted to be heard. She wrote eleven books in twenty-two editions and participated in the scientific and philosophical debates of her time on her own terms. As an aristocrat she found herself witnessing first hand the political flux around her, being buffeted by its forces and unable to shield herself from the consequences. Her experiences in the English Civil War led her to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge in an attempt to find deep explanations of nature and society. She took an unprecedented approach in overcoming her own lack of education, challenging the men of science, their theories and experiments and thereby thwarting the social expectations of her time and class. It is this determination to participate and be heard that speaks so strongly to women in the twenty-first century. However, Cavendish’s subsequent disappearance from history is a cautionary tale for feminism highlighting the importance of persistence and perhaps collective continuity. This doctoral presentation consists of two interconnected parts. The first section is a feature film script That Cavendish Woman. The script tells the story of Margaret and her years in exile first as maid of honour to Queen HenriettaMaria, wife of Charles I, and then in her marriage to William and his role in her education. The script follows their eventual return to England, and the proliferation of Margaret’s writing and publications and her growing fame. Finally it explores her admittance to and the tacit acceptance of her scientific and philosophical work by the scholars of the day. The characters are drawn from documents and letters of the time, as well as the published writings of both Margaret and William Cavendish. The script is written as a historical drama which focuses on Margaret’s personal story with the events of history supplying the background. The second section of the thesis is an exegesis which explains the choices made in the creation of the script. It looks at why this particular story was an important one to tell, iii restoring the female voice in the historical record, and how it was necessary to use both history and fiction to do so. I have examined how historical characters may serve the intended audience by helping them to explore an interweaving of seventeenth and twenty-first century mores from a personal as well as sociological and psychological points of view. I have also considered how creative research allows for access to a wide audience within the academic framework. This is a feminist work that aims to restore a female voice in history, and by so doing to alert present generations of women to the instability in previously won benefits of the feminist movement. That Cavendish Woman is a work of fiction that explores the possibility that there is more to history than that which has been reported and tells a story that highlights a female voice in history which has, until recently, been quieted. iv" @default.
