Margaret Fuller and *Woman in the Nineteenth Century*
Captions available
The idea
Margaret Fuller, whom the witness calls the movement's feminist writer, published Woman in the Nineteenth Century, an argument that women should have the same access to self-development that the Transcendentalists claimed for the individual. It applies the movement's central principle to the half of the population it had overlooked.
In practice
Self-reliance, claimed for women.
Where people slip
Fuller's book is named from the survey witness.
