- Synopsis
- Though generally overshadowed by Ralph Waldo Emerson and other New England intellectuals, Margaret Fuller spoke out boldly for social reform and the rights of women. She edited The Dial magazine, and she was a regular contributor to Horace Greeley's New York Tribune. In her thirties she left New England to travel in Europe, and her life was transformed by the political upheaval in Italy. She became a close friend of the revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini, fell in love with an Italian count, bore a child, cared for the war wounded, and perished in a shipwreck at the age of forty. This book is a collection of excerpts from Fuller's letters and essays, observations about Fuller by her contemporaries, and the author's biographical chapters.
