That is a wonderful insight, that we need to envision a different future as the first step toward changing it. I admire the mid-19th century Transcendentalists in New England for that reason, their eloquent expressions of their visions for a better world -- Louisa May Alcott, Thoreau, Emerson, Margaret Fuller. Also the abolitionists and the first wave of feminists at that time. <strong>Thank you! I imagine that, even if the women who lived in my house didn't know the Transcendentalists, they must have been aware of the reformist activities in the town.</strong> Very insightful post!
