Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli , mais conhecida como Margaret Fuller, foi uma jornalista, crítica e defensora dos direitos da mulher norte-americana associada ao movimento transcendentalista americano. Foi a primeira crítica literária de jornalismo, do sexo feminino e a tempo inteiro, nos Estados Unidos O seu livro Woman in the Nineteenth Century é considerado o primeiro trabalho literário feminista nos Estados Unidos.

Nascida em Cambridge, Massachusetts, foi-lhe fornecida uma educação prematura e substancial pelo seu pai, Timothy Fuller. Teve mais tarde uma educação mais formal e tornou-se professora antes de, em 1839, começar a ver o que ela chamava de "conversas": debates entre mulheres com o objetivo de compensar a sua falta de acesso ao ensino superior. Tornou-se a primeira editora do jornal transcendentalista The Dial em 1840, antes de se juntar a equipa do New York Tribune debaixo do controlo de Horace Greeley em 1844. Nos seus 30, Fuller havia ganho a reputação de pessoa mais culta de Nova Inglaterra, tanto homem como mulher, e foi a primeira mulher autorizada a utilizar a biblioteca de Harvard. O seu trabalho seminal, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, foi publicado em 1845. Um ano depois, foi enviada à Europa pelo Tribune como a sua primeira correspondente do sexo feminino. Cedo se começou a envolver com a Revolução Italiana e aliou-se com Giuseppe Mazzini. Teve uma relação com Giovanni Ossoli, da qual teve uma criança. Todos os três membros da família morreram num naufrágio perto de Fire Island, Nova Iorque, ao viajarem para Nova Iorque em 1850. O corpo de Fuller jamais foi recuperado.

Margaret Fuller: Frases em inglês

“We will worship by impromptu symbols, till the religion is framed for all Humanity. The beauty grows around us daily, the trees are now all in blossom and some of the vines; there is a Crown Imperial just in perfection, to which I paid my evening worship by the light of the fire, which reached to us, and there are flashes of lightening too. But I do not like the lightening so well as once, having been in too great danger. Yet just now a noble flash falls upon my paper, it ought to have noble thoughts to illumine, instead of these little nothings, but indeed to-night I write only to say: thou dear, dear friend, and we must must meet soon.”

Letter IV to James Nathan (March 1845).
The Love Letters Of Margaret Fuller (1903)

“In times of old, as we are told,
When men more child-like at the feet
Of Jesus sat, than now,
A chivalry was known more bold
Than ours, and yet of stricter vow,
Of worship more complete.”

Life Without and Life Within (1859), Sub Rosa, Crux

“There is a Polish countess here, who likes me much. She has been very handsome, still is, in the style of the full-blown rose. She is a widow, very rich, one of the emancipated women, naturally vivacious, and with talent. This woman envies me; she says, "How happy you are; so free, so serene, so attractive, so self-possessed!" I say not a word, but I do not look on myself as particularly enviable. A little money would have made me much more so; a little money would have enabled me to come here long ago, and find those that belong to me, or at least try my experiments; then my health would never have sunk, nor the best years of my life been wasted in useless friction. Had I money now, — could I only remain, take a faithful servant, and live alone, and still see those I love when it is best, that would suit me. It seems to me, very soon I shall be calmed, and begin to enjoy.”

Letter (17 November 1847).
Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1852)

“Wouldst have the princely spirit bowed?
Whisper only, speak not loud,
Mark and leave him in the crowd.

Thou need'st not spies nor jailers have;
The free will serve thee like the slave,
Coward shrinking from the brave.”

Life Without and Life Within (1859), The Captured Wild Horse

“Those who are not intimately and permanently linked with others, are thrown upon themselves; and, if they do not there find peace and incessant life, there is none to flatter them that they are not very poor, and very mean.
A position which so constantly admonishes, may be of inestimable benefit. The person may gain, undistracted by other relationships, a closer communion with the one. Such a use is made of it by saints and sibyls.”

The life of love is a mysterious task;
They want no answer, for they would not ask.”

“We doubt not the destiny of our country — that she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.”

“Were the destiny of woman thus exactly marked out, did she invariably retain the shelter of a parent’s or guardian’s roof till she married, did marriage give her a sure home and a protector, were she never liable to be made a widow, or, if so, sure of finding immediate protection from a brother or new husband, so that she might never be forced to stand alone one moment, and were her mind given for this world only, with no faculties capable of eternal growth and infinite improvement, we would still demand of her a far wider and more generous culture than is proposed by those who so anxiously define her sphere.”

Fonte: , in 1843 (1844), p. 10.

“Let it not be said, wherever there is energy or creative genius, 'She has a masculine mind.'
This by no means argues a willing want of generosity toward Woman. Man is as generous towards her as he knows how to be. Wherever she has herself arisen in national or private history, and nobly shone forth in any form of excellence, men have received her, not only willingly, but with triumph.”

Gad! She'd better. - response of Thomas Carlyle

“Every relation, every gradation of nature is incalculably precious, but only to the soul which is poised upon itself, and to whom no loss, no change, can bring dull discord, for it is in harmony with the central soul. If any individual live too much in relations, so that he becomes a stranger to the resources of his own nature, he falls, after a while, into a distraction, or imbecility, from which he can only becured by a time of isolation, which gives the renovating fountains time to rise up. With a society it is the same.”
