		Martineau was a writer of exceptional breadth and vitality, earning her reputation by unflinchingly inserting herself into the great debates of the day, including women's rights and slavery.

	Harriet Martineau - The Person (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Harriet Martineau was a complicated female intellectual at a time when often the most a bookish middle-class woman in need of employment could aspire to was a position as a governess.
		Martineau took the ideas and perfected the form--the primer textbook in a sophisticated field, the how-to manual--at a time when the desire for general education was highly developed, but the instructional materials for it were not.
		Harriet Martineau's radicalism led her to make a cogent, rational economic argument about conditions in Ireland in 1843 that included specific consideration of the special poverty of women in the same decade that my great-grandmother Graham was preparing for her boat trip to New Orleans to avoid starvation near Dublin.

	Harriet Martineau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Martineau's childhood, according to her Autobiography, was not a particularly happy one for she was a nervous, fearful child, often ill, and often imagining herself singled out by her mother and siblings for criticism.
		Martineau's meteoric rise to fame came with the publication in 1832 of the first of her series of stories told to illustrate the principles of political economy.
		Martineau's relations with her mother also seem to have been affected by this rupture and it appears that a reconciliation was not effected until shortly before Mrs Martineau's death in 1848.

	Harriet Martineau's Feminism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act was to pass in 1857, and Martineau's support of it in the newspaper and her expression of that support in terms of the easing of brutality against poor women are indications of her surprisingly foresighted feminist outlook.
		Martineau was outspoken about the degradation and limits imposed on women by marriage, but she was understandably ambivalent in some of her statements and contradictory in some of her behavior having to do with marriage.
		Martineau's final act of political activism in her old age was on behalf of women and again in the service of a campaign led by another, the campaign of the Ladies' National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts led by Josephine Butler.

	Harriet Martineau
		Harriet Martineau was born in Norwich, the daughter of Thomas Martineau, a Unitarian importer of wine and manufacturer of silks and woollens, and his wife Elizabeth.
		Harriet was, however, given to quarrelling with literary luminaries, Thomas Carlyle mordantly commenting that she was 'a too noisy distinguished female victorious mainly by her smallness; and who not only waves banners in her own triumph, but insists on your waving banners too'.
		Nonetheless Harriet Martineau remained influential, her knowledge of America leading her to be appointed as American correspondent to the Daily News, where her anti-slavery and pro-neutrality views were important during the Civil War.

	Harriet Martineau
		Martineau enjoyed a radically unconventional career for a Victorian woman, and seems to have done so with little resistence from the rest of society - by the sheer strength of her own indomitable will.
		Thanks to this success, Martineau was called in to advise Parliament from time to time, and enjoyed (or suffered) the process of "lionizing," whereby a host serves up renowned figures to his or her guests to be ogled and admired.
		Martineau's next big project, financed by the political economy series, was a voyage to America that she turned into the book Society in America, an exploration of American social and political life.

	Harriet Martineau and the Quiet Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		My intention in this chapter was to present Harriet Martineau in the context of the current of social-scientific thought which she helped to pioneer: a philosophical perspective referred to as "evolutionary naturalism".
		The premise here is that it is impossible to understand Martineau's contributions to evolutionary naturalism without some awareness of the seeds of her subsequent ideas that were floating around in family discussions, classrooms and readily available books of the period.
		My intention throughout was to point the reader to those who have dealt more thoroughly with Harriet Martineau's work, and not to attempt an in-depth analysis of any particular aspect other than in the matter of her contribution to the naturalistic and evolutionary current in modern social-scientific thought.

	Harriet Martineau Writing on the British Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Martineau's interest in imperialism is thus tempered by her regard for historical precedent and her insightful ability always to perceive the big picture even while focused on the minutiae of current events.
		Since Martineau was a feminist and abolitionist as well as a utilitarian who espoused the doctrine of free trade, her writings offer a rich vein of material for those interested in any of these issues.
		One of the valuable lessons of Martineau’s writings for modern readers is her unending determination to reconcile her faith in scientific objectivity and imperialism with democratic principles and respect for other cultures.

		Miss Martineau was, doubtless, a lady who strongly desired the happiness of mankind, and who had some correct ideas of the manner in which human happiness is to be promoted.
		She rendered much good service in her day and generation, but she left this book to be published after her death, which is unjust to almost every individual named in it, and, most of all, unjust to herself.
		Miss Martineau, however, has been to no one so unjust as to herself; for she has not had the art to make her readers feel and realize the disadvantages under which she labored.

		Miss Martineau has herself ascribed her taste for literary pursuits to the delicacy of her health in childhood, and to her deafness, which, without being complete, has obliged her to seek occupations and pleasures within herself; and also to the affection which subsisted between her and her brother, the Rev. James.
		Miss Martineau is remarkable for her power of portraying what she sees; she revels in the beauties of landscape, and has a wonderful command of language.
		Miss Martineau has indeed become weak, because she has deserted this tower of strength—"faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;" and bowed down her noble nature to worship reason unenlightened by revelation, an idol set up by the "feebleness, waywardness, and willfulness" of men.
