Margaret Fuller: A Woman of the Nineteenth Century

From January 21 through March 26, 2010, the exhibit, Margaret Fuller: A Woman of the Nineteenth Century, will be on view in the Amy Lowell Room at Houghton Library. Margaret Fuller is credited with being the first woman granted permission to do research at Harvard, and during the 19th century she educated the country on women's issues, the problems of slavery, and the plight of Native Americans. She also reported from a war-torn Italy. The exhibit explores her various pursuits in honor of the 200th anniversary of her birth in Cambridge.

A reception will be held on January 21 at 5:30pm in the Edison Newman Room at Houghton. For details please get in touch with Heather Cole at 617-495-2449.
