Margaret Fullerová bola poprednou postavou amerického transcendentalizmu, novinárkou a kritičkou, ktorá sa zasadzovala za práva žien. Ako prvá žena v tlači pracovala ako knižná recenzentka a jej dielo „Žena v devätnástom storočí“ je považované za prvé významné feministické dielo v USA. Fullerová bola známa svojimi „konverzáciami“ – diskusiami pre ženy, ktoré mali kompenzovať ich obmedzený prístup k vzdelaniu. Jej písanie sa vyznačovalo intelektuálnou hĺbkou a odvážnym prístupom k sociálnym reformám, vrátane podpory emancipácie otrokov a reformy väzenstva. Jej celoživotné úsilie a myšlienky z nej urobili inšpiráciu pre mnohých ďalších aktivistov za práva žien a feminizmus.

The book is a reproduction of a historical work, published by Megali, which focuses on making literature accessible through large print editions. This initiative aims to assist individuals with impaired vision, ensuring that they can enjoy and engage with important texts from the past.
When first published in 1845, Woman in the Nineteenth Century was one of the most popular and influential works of feminism in its time, selling out in its first edition within a week. However, this major work by Margaret Fuller has not been widely available to modern readers before now. This edition presents the complete text of Fuller's famous work, as well as a collection of other important writings that provide an expansive vision of Fuller's thought. Ranging widely from the Woman Question to the European revolutionary movements in which she played a direct part, her thought prefigures important themes in modern feminism.
