evidence: In 1845, fifty-two years later, an American woman, Margaret Fuller, also wrote to advocate the rights of women. Trying to soften her message somewhat, avoiding the political, she penned Woman in the Nineteenth Century. [...] Regarding Fuller's writing, she was aware of the obstacles she faced in printing Woman in the Nineteenth Century. While her work was received favorably by great writers (i.e. George Eliot—a woman, Edgar Allan Poe, etc.), the male members of the society she addressed were not as impressed. [...] Margaret Fuller was an 19th Century American advocate for women's rights; struggling to be heard in a male-dominated society, she was powerfully guided by an earnest conviction of the truth of Thomas Jefferson's sentiments when he wrote that "all men are created equal."
