Reviews
"Matteson's portrait of Fuller, given depth and sheen by a treasure trove of letters, is unfailingly intelligent, nuanced and intriguing." "Well-written... [Readers] will admire her spirit, intellect, and courage." "John Matteson performs a service in producing a ... biography that will introduce this learned, prolific and eccentric American to a wider audience." "[Matteson's] writing seems to derive palpable energy from Fuller's own dynamism... In the end he discovers a Fuller that is startlingly modern in her contradictions and commitments."
