| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to analyze the writings of Margaret Fuller, who discuss radically the gender-equal relation between the both sexes at the time women were not praised for their intellect and logical ideas.
I published the Japanese translation of her representative work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century. The publication of the Japanese translation would make the access to Margaret Fuller easier for Japanese scholars. Fuller's difficult English usage and various citations from classical works have prevented people from reading her pioneering book. I also wrote two essays and discussed her self-portrait and development of professionalism by analyzing her journalistic writings. Fuller's statement inevitably has inconsistency and includes contradiction. Fuller insists on complete individualism and at the same time aims at the establishment of idealistic community and conjugal relation between the both sexes, which is can be said to be still unresolved dilemma even today.
