rights">women's rights</a> advocate <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Fuller" title="Margaret Fuller">Margaret Fuller</a>. Originally published in July 1843 in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Dial" title="The Dial">The Dial</a></i> magazine as "The Great Lawsuit. Man versus Men. Woman versus Women", it was later expanded and republished in book form in 1845. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Summary">Summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Woman_in_the_Nineteenth_Century&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The basis for Fuller's essay is the idea that man will rightfully inherit the earth when he becomes an elevated being, understanding of divine love. There have been periods in time when the world was more awake to this love, but people are sleeping now; however, everyone has the power to become enlightened. Man cannot now find perfection because he is still burdened with selfish desires, but Fuller is optimistic and says that we are on the verge of a new awakening. She claims that in the past man, like <a href="/wiki/Orpheus" title="Orpheus">Orpheus</a> for <a href="/wiki/Eurydice" title="Eurydice">Eurydice</a>, has always called out for woman, but soon will come the time when women will call for men, when they will be equals and share divine love. </p><p>According to Fuller, America has been hindered from reaching equality because it inherited depravity from Europe, hence its treatment of Native and African Americans. Fuller quotes the ancient <a href="/wiki/Medes" title="Medes">Medes</a> on how all people are equal and bound to each other; those who infringe on others' rights are condemned, but the biggest sin is hypocrisy. Man needs to practice divine love as well as feel it. Among those who practice it are the abolitionists because they act on their love of humanity; many women are part of this group. </p><p>Fuller then begins to examine men and women in America. She observes that many people think that in marriage, man is the head of the house and woman the heart. Problems with the law derive from the problem of women being viewed as inferiors, equal to children but not men. The truth is that women need expansion and seek to be like men; they need to be taught self-dependence. The idea that equality between men and women would bring divinity to new heights because it would help fulfill the lives of both men and women is reinforced by looking at historical evidence where men and women were equally divine, including <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> with its male and female <a href="/wiki/Saint" title="Saint">saints</a>. Women, Fuller says, need not poetry or power to be happy, which they now have access to, but rather intellectual and religious freedom equal to men's. </p><p>The transition of <a href="/wiki/Marriage" title="Marriage">marriage</a> in earlier times as that of convenience into a union of equal souls is discussed in relation to four types of marriage, which Fuller ranks in ascending order. The first type, the household partnership, is merely convenience and mutual dependence. The man provides for the house, the woman tends to it. The second type is mutual idolatry where the man and woman find in the other all perfection to the exclusion of the rest of the world. The intellectual companionship is the next highest form of marriage. In this, man and woman are friends, confidants in thought and feeling with a mutual trust, but rarely love. Above all of these forms is the highest marriage, the religious union. It envelopes the other three to include mutual dependence, idolatry, and respect. The man and woman find themselves as equals on a "pilgrimage towards a common shrine." Fuller also makes brief mention of the life of "old maids", often looked down upon because they are not married, but she says that they have the opportunity for close communion with the divine which married people do not have to that extent. </p><p>Fuller then looks at the differences between men and women in order to enforce that women need their intellectual and spiritual resources strengthened. She says that the souls of men and women are the same, even with differences in masculinity and femininity. The differences are not between men and women, though, for both have masculine and feminine energies, but are between individuals: "There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman." </p><p>The conclusion of the essay is that before a true union can occur, each person must be an individual and self-dependent unit. For women to become such individuals, men need to remove their dominating influence, but women also need to claim themselves as self-dependent and remove themselves from man's influence. Fuller ends looking forward and making a call for the woman who will teach women to be individuals. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Composition_and_publication_history">Composition and publication history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Woman_in_the_Nineteenth_Century&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Composition and publication history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg/220px-The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="363" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg/330px-The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg/440px-The_Great_Lawsuit.jpg 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="844" /></a><figcaption>The book was expanded from the essay "The Great Lawsuit", first published in the July 1843 issue of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Dial" title="The Dial">The Dial</a></i>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Fuller began writing her essay as she went on a trip to <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> in 1843, perhaps inspired by a similar essay by <a href="/wiki/Sophia_Ripley" title="Sophia Ripley">Sophia Ripley</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Risjord114_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Risjord114-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "The Great Lawsuit: Man <i>versus</i> Men, Woman <i>versus</i> Women"<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was originally published in serial form for <i>The Dial</i>, the <a href="/wiki/Transcendentalism" title="Transcendentalism">transcendental</a> journal for which Fuller served as editor.<sup id="cite_ref-Slater89_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Slater89-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Publisher <a href="/wiki/Horace_Greeley" title="Horace Greeley">Horace Greeley</a> was impressed and encouraged Fuller to rewrite it as a full-length book.<sup id="cite_ref-Risjord114_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Risjord114-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After completing the expanded version, renamed <i>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</i>, she wrote to a friend: "I had put a good deal of my true self in it, as if, I suppose I went away now, the measure of my footprint would be left on earth."<sup id="cite_ref-Slater89_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Slater89-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> About one-third of the book-length version was new.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Greeley assisted in its publication and released it as part of his "Cheerful Books for the People" series in February 1845, selling for 50 cents a copy.<sup id="cite_ref-Risjord115_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Risjord115-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Analysis">Analysis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Woman_in_the_Nineteenth_Century&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Analysis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are many transcendentalist ideas expressed in the essay based on Fuller's strong dedication to transcendentalism. One of the main ideas is the cultivation of the individual, which to Fuller included women as well as men. The essay applies the idea of the individual to the enlightenment of all mankind: allowing women as individuals to have greater spiritual and intellectual freedom will advance the enlightenment of both men and women and, therefore, all of mankind. </p><p>"The Great Lawsuit" also makes reference to the <a href="/wiki/Abolitionism_in_the_United_States" title="Abolitionism in the United States">abolitionist</a> movement. Women's lack of freedom is paralleled to that of the slaves, one that was actively fought against by many people in the North, men as well as women. In doing this, Fuller is calling upon men's compassion for the slave to be applied to women as well, and for women to expand their energy fighting for slaves' freedom to their own. </p><p>The essay includes many allusions to other works in literature, history, politics, religion, and philosophy in order to demonstrate to the reader that she was qualified to write the work in an age when women were not allowed a college education. The work reflects her life, for she was very active in politics when women were still expected to devote themselves entirely to their family.
