In this entry, we explore the intriguing life and death of one of the most influential women in modern history. A pioneer in the fight for women’s rights who transcended the barriers she encountered in her time and shaped future generations with her life and works. This is the inspiring story of journalist, editor, and feminist advocate Margaret Fuller:
A woman in the early 1800s, assertive and intense in manners,
most people saw threat instead of strength,
a lioness refusing to stay in a bird’s cage.
Met the great thinker of her time and place,
and stood as her equal.
Intellectual ‘soulmates’.
A heart even brighter than her mind,
he would get to find.
Stars gravitated around her,
A leader
bringing up “Conversations”.
Determined on self-reliance,
Writing, editing, and thinking,
Made the world her nation.
A tragic end to her tale
of striving and overcoming,
couldn’t take away transcendence
for that great becoming soul.
Margaret left a statement for women and men, on the power and influence that one can exert when they bravely and resolutely face the uncertainty and hurdles that life presents to them and choose to live life creatively.
