The Great Cause Over the centuries there have been many groups who have pursued equal rights for themselves. These groups feel excluded from the privileges that others possess and are subject to injustices that others do not experience. These groups feel that they deserve better and that their presence in the world is not the same as that of others. In the United States, a large percentage of women have begun to believe that they provide equal rights to men. Margaret Fuller was among the movement's supporters and published a groundbreaking article titled "The Great Lawsuit." In “The Great Lawsuit,” Margaret Fuller tries to stop the great inequalities between men and women by describing great marriages in which husband and wife are equal, stating how society represses women's true inner genius, and recording admirable women who stand up in an effort for equality. In her article, Fuller explains how today's society restricts women's rights in an attempt to show the inequalities between men and women. For example, he feels that "women like these, rich in genius, in tenderest sympathies, and capable of high virtue and chastened harmony, should not be found in so narrow a place" (Fuller 741). Margaret Fuller explains that all women, even those with “rich genius,” are at a disadvantage due to society's inequality. She also feels that women are as “capable of high virtues” as men and do not deserve to be in “so narrow a place.” Furthermore, Fuller is aware that women may “find their way to purer air, but the world will not take off the mark it has placed upon them” (741). Margaret Fuller uses this passage to explain that it is possible for women to go public with their ideas, but it would be... middle of paper... great marriages where husband and wife are equal, stating how society restricts the true genius within of women and recording admirable women fighting for equality. This article came at the beginning of the revolution and led to the inspiration of many new followers. These new disciples then spread the word about women's rights and gained even more followers, causing a snowball effect for the new supporters. This now enormous group made many serious court challenges that led to suffrage and many other new privileges for women. If it were not for this document and the new followers of the revolution, the United States might not be the fair and impartial country it is today. Works Cited Fuller, Margaret. "The great cause."
