Commemorates the bicentennial of Margaret Fuller's birth with a dynamic collection of excerpts from her writings. Includes an overview of Fuller's life and legacy and a list of recommended resources. A contemporary of Emerson and Thoreau and a leading public intellectual of her time, Margaret Fuller, a lifelong Unitarian, has yet to be elevated by history to the status of her peers. But her impact on the leading Transcendentalists of the day as a religious radical, political revolutionary, social reformer and forceful advocate of women's rights remains significant, even today. In addition to serving as editor of the Transcendentalist magazine, the Dial, and writing her manifesto Woman in the Nineteenth Century, Fuller was a transnational, cosmopolitan figure whose work and influence transcend the provincialism of New England and nineteenth-century American culture.
