Is it true that Margaret Cavendish was the first woman to join? (1667) -- Nemissimo II 16:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
This Wikipedia article is in error when it claims ("Critical Reception," second paragraph) Cavendish became the first woman inducted into the Royal Society in 1945. The Guardian article cited as evidence doesn't say that either. The first female to be inducted into the Royal Society was admitted in 1945, but it was Kathleen Lonsdale, not the long-dead Cavendish. Whether Cavendish has ever been posthumously inducted or whether that's even a thing, I don't know.-- 2601:200:C000:10E0:ED13:F63F:FD88:37AF ( talk) 03:01, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class.

Lisa Jardine tells a story in a BBC Radio 4 "Point of View" essay, about Cavendish in the context of spurious nationalism:

It seems like this article needs somewhat of a major overhaul in the sense of organization. It appears to have a lot of information, but not really anywhere to put all this info. For this article, I will be trying to help this by restructuring the article. Two main things I want to do is implement the sections:
Within these, I want to shift the information around so that it is more structured(, like her religion can go in her full narrative/life section), since there is a lot of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kara Fennimore ( talk • contribs) 16:29, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
This article contains two birthdays: December 15 (introduction) and December 16 (table). Which one is correct? 194.62.169.86 ( talk) 19:11, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Her utopian romance The Blazing World is one of the earliest examples of science fiction.[3]
Shouldn't this be at the top? It's her legacy, and a major contribution to literature. 75.166.34.12 ( talk) 14:52, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
