The Tempests of Margaret Fuller
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Margaret Fuller (1810–50) was a dazzling presence in the transcendental movement. She hosted conversations that led women to reconsider their role in society, published important works by Emerson and Thoreau while editing the Dial, and, in 1845, wrote Woman in the Nineteenth Century, a landmark work of feminism. But she chafed at the constrictions placed on women by Emerson and his followers, who focused on the free and unfettered self from a male perspective. Fuller understood that to be a woman in the first half of the nineteenth century was by definition to be dependent—to rely on others instead of the self. Frustrated by transcendentalism, she left Boston for New York, where she worked as a newspaper journalist and exposed the plight of poor women. Then, as a foreign correspondent, she traveled to Italy, where she secretly married and gave birth to a son.
