  1. Transcendentalism

    Margaret Fuller was an influential leader of our movement. She helped our movement prosper and grow with believers. With the help of her publicizing, we gained a lot of attention and followers. She helped form the great movement of transcendentalism.

  2. I agree with you that education was important for everyone. I don't agree with you that men and woman should have the same education and political rights. Women should be teachers and mothers. They need to be educated, I agree, however women need to be educated in the art of etiquette, maintaining the house, and raising children.

  4. Emma Willard: It is so great that you support women's equality in education the same as me. I love having others who share a strong common belief. We both were skilled and wrote books for others.

    We need to have another lengthy conversation about the pleasantness of being lost in the woods and Autumn or the crows voices that you heard and our early childhood experiences. Back then I was more willing to die but for some reason I still stayed on earth because it was beautiful enough.
