In 1848, pioneering feminist Margaret Fuller insisted that âevery arbitrary barrierâ to womenâs progress be tossed aside, declaring, âWe would have every path laid open to Woman as freely as to Man.â
The pronouncement by Fuller, a leader in the transcendentalist movement centered in Concord, succinctly described the vision of the then incipient womenâs rights movement. Seen from afar, it also captures the spirit of centuries of Concord women â from reformers and artists to writers and athletes â who have helped redefine perceptions of what women can be and do.
In a town famous for the independent spirit of its people,.

OPINION: We must support our young people
Thomas J. Putnam
Like many, I was comforted by President Biden’s inaugural address and its plainspoken call for unity which is so sorely needed to rebuild our democracy.
And then, on its heels, came the inspiring poem of 22-year old Amanda Gordon providing “light in this never-ending shade.”
I had a similar experience the day before here in Concord.
Later this spring, the Concord Museum will open a new exhibit “Every Path Laid Open: Women of Concord and the Quest for Equality.” Organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, the title comes from Margaret Fuller who once remarked that not only did suffragists demand the right to vote but they also advocated that “we would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.”
