George Eliot
b. 11-22-1819
b. 12-22-1880
George Eliot was the pen name of Victorian author Mary Anne Evans. Her novels, known for their realism and psychological insight, were set in provincial England.
Poster Text: So year after year, Silas Marner had lived in this solitude, his guineas rising in the iron pot, and his life narrowing and hardening itself more and more into a mere pulsation of desire and satisfaction that had no relation to any other being. His life had reduced itself to the functions of weaving and hoarding, without any contemplation of and end towards which the functions tended.

Margaret Fuller
b. 5-23-1810; Cambridge, MA
d. 6-19-1850; ship wreck off Fire Isl., NY
Margaret Fuller was a women's rights activist, journalist, and Transcentalist. She was also an educator, bringing women together for “conversations” meant to compensate for the lack of formal educaton for women. Fuller was the New York Tribunes first woman editor (1844), and also it's first woman foreign correspondent. It was on her return to the US that she died in a ship wreck.
Margaret Fuller quotes:
• “Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.”
• “Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.”
• “Nature provides exceptions to every rule.”
• “The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.”
• The Portable Margaret Fuller
