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.

Margaret Fuller - journalist, critic, radical feminist, and political activist - travelled in Europe between 1846 and 1850 as a foreign correspondent for the New York Tribune. Her letters from England, France, and Italy, which began as engaging travel sketches, soon became moving accounts of the most widespread revolutionary upheaval within modern history. These dispatches are now reproduced in their entirety for the first time. Fuller met important political figures wherever she travelled, including those who became leaders in the revolutions, and she actively allied herself with the republican cause. Her letters describe how from her apartment in Rome she saw the November 1848 attack on the Quirinal Palace, which precipitated the Pope's flight from the city and the establishment of the Roman Republic headed by her friend Giuseppe Mazzini; how she and the Romans (who included her lover Giovanni Ossoli, a captain in the Civic guard) suffered through the June 1849 siege and bombardment of Rome by the French army sent to restore the Pope; and how as director of a hospital on Tiber Island, she nursed the wounded who fell in the defense of the city. The dispatches, edited and annotated by Larry J. Reynolds and Susan Belasco Smith, are introduced by an essay explaining the historical and professional context in which the letters were written.

Woman in the Nineteenth Century

In the July 1843 issue of 'The Dial', Margaret Fuller wrote an essay entitled "The Great Lawsuit: Man versus Men; Woman versus Women:" The article aroused great controversy and she expanded it into Woman in the Nineteenth Century. The first major feminist document to appear in America, the book takes up the central issues of women's economic, political, intellectual, and sexual status in society. Although some of the worst legal abuses have been corrected, most of the attitudes and assumptions that she exposed are still in operation over a century later. Woman in the Nineteenth Century is not only an historical document, affording a revealing view of an important figure in the American Renaissance, but a manifesto for human rights today.

Examines the many complex and sensitive issues relating to wildland fires. Beginning with an overview of the fires of the 1980s, it discusses the implications of continued drought and considers the behavior of wildland fires from ignition and spread to spotting and firestorms. Topics include the effects of weather, forest fuels, fire ecology and the effects of fire on plants and animals. Examines firefighting methods and equipment, including new minimum impact techniques and compressed air foam, prescribed burning, and steps that can be taken to protect individuals and human structures. A history of forest fire policies in the U.S. and a discussion of solutions to fire problems around the world completes the coverage. With one percent of the earth's surface burning every year in the last decade, it is a penetrating book on a subject of undeniable importance.
