Synopsis

One of the first feminist, hollow earth, science fiction, utopian novels. First published in Topeka Kansas in 1900. The author, Jack Adams is a pseudonym. He is actually a woman in men's clothing who for years has been looking for her betrothed, Raphel Ganoe. He/She ends up working on a sailing ship which Ganoe is captain of, on a voyage to the arctic. The ship is frozen in the ice then sails into the inside of the earth where the Altrurians live. The Altrurians explain how they evolved into a co-operative society. Jack reveals his/her secret and flys an aeroplane with a copy of the manuscript you have been reading to the outside world where it will be published. This 3rd edition has forty pages more than the original. These pages give background and information on the authors, their friends and why the book was written.
