29Cosmography: A Posthumous Scenario for the Future of Humanity,⁴ 1992 I dedicate this book to three women: one of the nineteenth and two of the twentieth centuries. First, to my great aunt, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, who with Ralph Waldo Emerson co-edited the Transcendentalist magazine, the Dial, and was the first to publish Thoreau—and herself authored Woman in the Nineteenth Century.[FF74]

30 I am sure Margaret would and probably does join in my enthusiastic support and co-dedication of this book to Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarian Conspiracy [Fer80], and to Barbara Marx Hubbard, founder of the Committee for the Future, for their effective inspiration to the young world to do its own thinking and to act in accordance therewith.
