A couple of weeks ago (November 15th, to be exact) I kicked off Transcendentalist month by starting The Essential Margaret Fuller. I was looking forward to reading Woman in the Nineteenth Century, Fuller’s radical-for-the-times feminist book, which is included in this collection of her work. I finally finished the entire collection last night and I have never been happier to finish a book in my life. It took me almost two weeks to read something that should have taken me a week (at the most) and it kind of felt like torture. I was bored out of my gourd for most of it, let me tell ya. There were bright spots here and there throughout the collection, but overall I was forcing myself to keep reading every day and I did a whole lot of skimming. I’m not going to get into specifics in this post because I want to talk about different sections of the book separately over the next few days, but I wanted to type up an overall review of sorts that includes what you will find in The Essential Margaret Fuller.
