 Margaret Fuller
Margaret was the first-born child of Unitarian parents, Margarett Crane and Timothy Fuller, Jr.
Margaret herself thought the price paid for this early and intensive drilling, sometimes late into the night, was sleeplessness and nightmares as a child and a lifetime of poor eyesight and migraine headaches.
Clarke commented that a conversation with Margaret "could not merely entertain and inform, but make an epoch in one's life." Eliza Farrar, wife of Harvard professor John Farrar, took Margaret on as a project in the improvement of dress and manners and introduced her to visitors like Fanny Kemble and Harriet Martineau.

 HNA Review of Books
Dagmar Eichberger’s seminal study on Margaret of Austria, regent of the Low Countries (1507–1530), as a collector, has set a new standard in the study of Netherlandish court art of the Early Modern Period.
The first chapter establishes Margaret of Austria’s multiple identities: as a princess belonging to a dynasty proud of its Burgundian ties, the Habsburgs; as a noble widow, officially free of the demands of the marriage market; and as a regent.
Chapter IV is dedicated to Margaret’s piety and its reflection in the religious part of her collection, chiefly located in the chapel and her official bedchamber.

Warnicke also quotes Margaret of Austria, who wrote to Anne's father, complimenting Anne as being "so perfect an address for a lady of her years".
Warnicke presumes that Margaret of Austria would not have found Anne's age worthy of mention unless she was much younger than usual.
Margaret of Austria must have accepted Anne into her employment at age five or six, even though it is both unlikely and undocumented that she would bend the rules to accept a non-royal child.

 Frontline: A Medici Symbol
Although named after 'Madama' Margaret of Austria (the illegitimate daughter of the Hapbsburg Emperor Charles V) who owned the villa from 1537 until her death in 1586, this magnificent building was actually built by Cardinal Giulio de Medici who became Pope Clement VII.
Having given her to his rather formidable aunt, Margaret of Austria, to be reared and educated, he obviously intended that she would one day play as important a role in the government of the Empire.
Since procreational success was thought to be primarily the responsibility of the woman, it appears that some sort of allusion is being made between the hope for Margaret's fruitfulness and the Spanish identity of the children she would bear Alessandro.
