Margaret Fuller
The year is 1845, and Margaret Fuller is back in town from Manhattan. Miss Fuller will discuss her recently published book Woman in the 19th Century; reminisce about her growing up days in Cambridgeport and Boston; relate other literary pursuits as first editor of The Dial, and episodes within the Transcendentalist circle including Brook Farm and Concord residents; including her present employment as first female literary critic for the New York Daily Tribune.  A recognized leader of local Conversations while living in Boston, Margaret will engage the audience with characteristic verve and candor, regaling anecdotes about her family, friends, philosophy, and travel encounters.
