Mizora: A Prophecy / A MSS. Found Among the Private Papers of the Princess Vera Zarovitch

A first-person account relates an expedition into the earth's interior where the narrator encounters an isolated all-female society organized around scientific knowledge, public education, and rational governance. The narrative details institutions for health, industry, and the arts, and explains how technology and planned methods of reproduction and production shape daily life and social arrangements. Episodes contrast the visitors' surface-world assumptions with Mizora's practices, exploring themes of gender, labor, communal provision, and social reform while asking how science and deliberate social design can create a markedly different moral and political order.
