Magic Margaret Moment
Jun. 5th, 2010 09:16 amI sent the beautiful trailer* for "The Margaret Ghost" to all my co-workers on Wednesday, with an invitation to come see the play in Belmont. One of the senior staff, a professor in another department, stopped by my desk on Friday. This is a rare thing, as she is so busy that she doesn't have much time for chatting.
"I watched that trailer you sent. It was very interesting. I'd never heard of Margaret Fuller," she confessed rather sheepishly. "I went on the net and read more about her. She was an amazing person!"
"That's great!" I assured her. "That's a big part of why we're doing this play, to let people know about her. And keep her memory alive."
She smiled and said, "I will try to get to see the play. Not sure....babysitting is tough," she sighed.
I said I understood and promised to bring her a program if she didn't make it, so she could read more about Margaret.
"Oh! That would be lovely," she said, running off to a meeting.
I reveled in the moment...the idea that a Harvard professor, who's had to fight her way up in male-dominated field, now knows about one of the women that blazed a path for her.
Another fan for Margaret Fuller!
