Helen Macfarlane: A Feminist, Revolutionary Journalist and Philosopher in Mid-Nineteenth Century England
By David Black (Lexington Books, 2004)
Sunday, JAN. 30, 7:00–9:15 p.m.
A talk by Anne Jaclard, followed by open discussion. Free admission. Book available for purchase.
39 West 14th Street, Rm. 205 (Identity House — ring buzzer 205 and come to second floor), Manhattan (north side of 14th St., between 5th and 6th Aves.; take any train to 14th St. or Union Square)
This intellectual biography plunges the reader into the most revolutionary organizations and ideas of the era. A radical Chartist and colleague of Marx in 1849-50, Macfarlane was the first person to translate the Communist Manifesto into English and the first Britisher to translate and comment on Hegel's works. Yet she was nearly lost to history: no one published her name with her translation of the Manifesto, including the American edition published by the feminist Victoria Woodhull.The 1848 European revolutions, feminism — which first became a movement in those revolutions and in the U.S. at the same time — English workers' struggles, Hegelian philosophy, Marx's first publications: Macfarlane swam in all of them. Her writings helped develop revolutionary ideas and combat reactionary ones that flourished after the defeat of the 1848 revolutions. Her life and work are not only fascinating but immediately relevant, 150 years later.
