Marilyn Ferguson

Marilyn Ferguson (April 5, 1938 – October 19, 2008) was an American author, editor and public speaker known for her 1980 book ''The Aquarian Conspiracy'', which is connected with the New Age Movement.

Ferguson published and edited the well-regarded science newsletter ''Brain/Mind Bulletin'' from 1975 to 1996. She eventually earned several honorary degrees, served on the board of directors of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and befriended such diverse figures of influence as inventor and theorist Buckminster Fuller, spiritual author Ram Dass, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ilya Prigogine and billionaire Ted Turner. Ferguson's work also influenced Vice President Al Gore, who participated in her informal network while a senator, and later met with her in the White House. Provided by Wikipedia
