Beyond the book, ahead of her time, Margaret Fuller, the most famous woman of the nineteenth century, seeks a stage and a screen to give courage and solace to us here and now.

“A moment of action in one’s self is worth an age of apprehension through others; not that our deeds are better, but that they produce a renewal of our being,” declared Margaret Fuller, who, at the age of forty, drowned with her soldier husband and two-year-old son in a shipwreck off Fire Island, New York attempting to return to America after reporting from Rome during one of history’s greatest military battles, the defense of the Roman Republic. The first woman foreign correspondent to report under combat conditions, the first American to write a book about equal rights for women, the first woman literary editor of a major American newspaper, Margaret Fuller put America on the world’s cultural map with her articles and reviews.

From BlueCat Screenplay Analysis—

This is a very intriguing period piece centered on the rich life of feminist icon Margaret Fuller. The script captures the time period and the wit of Margaret beautifully – her character pops off the page through her dialogue.

The script is an overall stunning biopic of a great American feminist icon that could be quite impactful in helping people learn of Margaret Fuller’s trailblazing story.

From London International Screenwriting Competition—

As this story revolves around the extraordinary American figure Margaret Fuller, involving major writers, thinkers, and reformers of the 19th-century U.S., and takes her saga into the wider world, it has direct resonance for American audiences. The screenplay explores foundational questions of democracy, women’s rights, transcendentalist philosophy, and the American identity, all within a character-driven epic narrative. With stirring set pieces involving salons, civil rights, and European revolutions, it offers Americans a deeply resonant, historically rich backdrop anchored by a complex, inspiring female protagonist and a host of supporting roles with rich dialogue and relationships.
