Lane's novel, Mizora: A Prophecy, was first published in 1880 as a serial in a Cincinnati newspaper, and has remained remarkable for the radicalism of the feminist utopia presented, against 19th century societal norms.[2][3] She published a second novel in 1895, entitled Escanaba, which however remains lost.[4]
