  • Louisa May Alcott: American novelist, writer, and abolitionist best known for her novel "Little Women".
  • Ralph Waldo Emerson: American essayist, lecturer, and poet who was a central figure in the Transcendentalist movement.
  • William Ellery Channing: American Unitarian preacher and writer who is often referred to as the "father of American Unitarianism".
  • Henry David Thoreau: American essayist, poet, and philosopher who was a strong advocate for individual freedom and a simpler way of life.
