Margaret Fuller enters history as a brilliant force in a world determined to confine her. Surrounded by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the thinkers who shape America’s literary spirit, she becomes the vibrant heart of the Transcendentalist movement. Yet her restless intellect and fierce independence push her far beyond Boston salons and philosophical debates.
As she defies expectations, Margaret becomes the first woman to access Harvard’s library, a champion for women’s rights, and a reporter chronicling injustice on the streets of New York. Her journey carries her across Europe as a foreign correspondent, where she mingles with artists, writers, and revolutionaries, and finds love in a city on the brink of change.
Praised for its sweeping scope, Finding Margaret Fuller honors a trailblazer whose courage reshaped history.
