Margaret Fuller's Gender-equal Perspective and the Rise of Feminism in the 19th Century America

本研究的目的是分析玛格丽特·富勒的作品，她从根本上讨论了在女性的智力和逻辑思维没有得到赞扬的时候两性之间的平等关系。我出版了她的代表作《十九世纪的女人》的日文译本。日文译本的出版将使日本学者更容易接触到玛格丽特·富勒。富勒难懂的英语用法和对经典作品的各种引用阻碍了人们阅读她的开创性著作。我还写了两篇文章，通过分析她的新闻写作，讨论了她的自画像和职业精神的发展。富勒的声明不可避免地存在不一致之处，并包含了矛盾。富勒坚持完全的个人主义，同时致力于建立理想的两性共同体和婚姻关系，这在今天可以说仍然是一个悬而未决的困境。

The purpose of this study was to analyze the writings of Margaret Fuller, who discuss radically the gender-equal relation between the both sexes at the time women were not praised for their intellect and logical ideas.I published the Japanese translation of her representative work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century. The publication of the Japanese translation would make the access to Margaret Fuller easier for Japanese scholars. Fuller's difficult English usage and various citations from classical works have prevented people from reading her pioneering book. I also wrote two essays and discussed her self-portrait and development of professionalism by analyzing her journalistic writings. Fuller's statement inevitably has inconsistency and includes contradiction. Fuller insists on complete individualism and at the same time aims at the establishment of idealistic community and conjugal relation between the both sexes, which is can be said to be still unresolved dilemma even today.
