"The destiny of each human being is no doubt great and peculiar," wrote Margaret Fuller to James Nathan in May 1845, "but there are also in every age a few in whose lot the meaning of that age is concentrated. I feel that I am one of those persons in my age and sex. I feel chosen among women." Her words echo the angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary, "Blessed art thou among women." Fuller felt that she could create the universal human image, not in a book but in the example of her life. A writer by profession, Fuller always sought to transcend the merely literary in order to invent an immediate relationship with the world. Hoping to create a shared awareness of human life in its highest state, she pursued friendships with many of the most prominent writers and thinkers in antebellum America. She tried to practice the ideal friendship imagined by the German Transcendentalists.
