"Margaret Fuller and Transcendentalism"

This program of "Spirit Journeys... Exploring the Mystic Traditions of the World's Religions" considers Margaret Fuller as a leading Transcendentalist with her colleagues Emerson, Thoreau, and A. Bronson Alcott in New England.

Theologian and educator Michael Barnett explains how Fuller's spiritual growth led her to become the first woman social and literary critic and foreign correspondent for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune from 1844 to 1850. Her work for women's rights, social justice, and democracy is still relevant for us today. Transcendentalism is believed to have ended with Fuller's untimely drowning in a shipwreck off Fire Island, New York.
