    Guide to the Transcendentalist Manuscript Collection, Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts www.fruitlands.org REGISTER MS T.1 S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850) Papers, ca 1836-1850 Size: 2 Linear inches Acquisition: Materials were purchased from The Goodspeed Book Shop by Clara Endicott Sears BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810-July 19, 1850) was a well known author, lecturer, and Transcendentalist in the Nineteenth Century. She is often called a "bluestocking", because of her feminist beliefs and unconventional life. She was born Sarah Margaret Fuller, the first of nine children of Timothy and Margaret Fuller of Cambridgeport, Massachusetts. Her father was determined to give her a masculine education according to the classical curriculum of the day. The exacting and regimental education began at a very young age and was to take a great toll on her health. But it also gave her abroad knowledge of literature and languages. Following the completion of her formal studies, Margaret gained entrance into the intellectual circles of Cambridge and Harvard. Here she formed lasting friendships with many New England intellectuals. In 1836, Margaret Fuller was hired to teach languages at Bronson Alcott's Temple School. She stayed only a year, but continued her teaching career in Providence Rhode Island at the Greene Street School. In 1839, she returned to Massachusetts and began conducting "Conversations" for society women and others in Boston. At this time, Margaret Fuller also became an integral part of the Transcendentalist Movement. From 1840 to 1842 she edited and contributed to the Transcendentalist journal, The Dial. In 1845, she published her feminist work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century.

    ...in a cabin by a pond, along a battle road, or hidden deep within a secret glen... the stories continue Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area 2017 Annual Report Making An Impact Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area 2017 Annual Report Two years ago, the Secretary of the Interior approved the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area Management Plan. An ambitious document, the plan outlines a vision for the heritage area as a place that values its natural, cultural and historical resources and works to preserve, interpret and protect them for future generations. Affirmed was the unique cultural perspective of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area and its significant role in shaping an American identity. It is our mission to build upon this legacy. To do so we strive daily to champion the heritage area’s unique sense of place and foster collaborative interpretive and educational initiatives to serve as catalysts for discovering and appreciating the region’s rich history and cultural and natural resources. There is much to celebrate. Steady progress has been made in advancing the management plan’s objective to develop a shared identity for the heritage area through the creation of a collective, regional narrative. To integrate and support the interpretive and educational sites of our partner organizations, new initiatives, including Hidden Treasures and Declaring Independence: Then & Now, have been launched. An expanded platform for communication and collaboration has introduced the heritage area’s rich history and culture to new audiences. There is much to accomplish. Together with our partners and the thousands of people who care deeply about this place we will continue to explore and share all that makes the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area special.
