“find in its 'poet's corner,' a translation of Schiller's "Dignity of Woman.”
“Thus, in Schiller's Dignity of Woman, beautiful as the poem is, there is no "grave and perfect man," but only a great boy to be softened and restrained by the influence of girls.”

Fuller, Margaret. Woman in the Nineteenth Century. New York: Greeley & McElrath, 1845.
