Bright Circle by Randall Fuller

Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism

Bright Circle is a group biography that follows five Boston women who in November 1839 formed a conversation society to consider what they were born to do and how to do it. Randall Fuller recounts how figures such as Mary Moody Emerson and Margaret Fuller developed ideas about the self, nature, and feeling while urging male peers to address the rights of enslaved people and of women. Together they helped form the foundations of American feminism.
