I would like to do a little more research on Fanny Wright's life, works, and the influence she  had on Whitman.  From the research I already gathered, I know she spent a great deal of her time promoting her own brand of radicalism during a time in which radicalism in culture and society was making a debut into the American mainstream.  And I'm sure she went on to influence other men and women who participated in the suffrage movement like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but unlike Stanton, Wright is a woman who doesn't receive the credit she deserves particularly in the history books we were brought up to read in school.  What were some of her greatest achievements and failures as one dedicated to activism?  What legacy, if any, has she left behind? And did her means justify her ends when it came to taking action against slavery, and the subjugation of women?
