Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) was a woman of action as well as ideas. Her life is itself a great American story, from precocious influence on Emerson and Thoreau and the rest of the New England Tracendentalists, to her years as a front-page newspaper columnist in New York, to her passionate engagement as a war correspondent and hospital superintendant in Italy. Her far-sighted writing-two books, numerous essays, poems and short fiction, and a vibrant archive of unpublished journals and letters-speaks to readers today with exceptional insight and relevance.
