More about the book

When first published in 1845, Woman in the Nineteenth Century was one of the most popular and influential works of feminism in its time, selling out in its first edition within a week. However, this major work by Margaret Fuller has not been widely available to modern readers before now. This edition presents the complete text of Fuller's famous work, as well as a collection of other important writings that provide an expansive vision of Fuller's thought. Ranging widely from the Woman Question to the European revolutionary movements in which she played a direct part, her thought prefigures important themes in modern feminism.
