[Kitty Galore · Rating 4 out of 5]

This books is a parallel to Democracy in American written by Alexis de Tocqueville, also a visitor to the United States around the same period. Fanny Wright was a writer and observer of this young nation much as Tocqueville was. While I do not agree with many of her observations (as I didn't with Tocqueville either), her courage and strength of character in an age when women were ostracized for having opinions, she is not only not widely known but hardly known at all. Why? Because she was female.
