Margaret Fuller, American Journalist and Feminist

Margaret Fuller (May 23, 1810 - July 19, 1850) was an American journalist, editor, and critic. Drowned in a shipwreck, Margaret Fuller is the tragic heroine of the Transcendentalist movement-an idealistic American literary and philosophical movement that stressed the unity of all creation-and the first major woman intellectual in American history. She edited the Transcendentalist journal The Dial with Ralph Waldo Emerson and George Ripley and became a critic for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune. In 1839 she began a conversation group among Boston's women that led to the treatise Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845). Daguerreotype by John Plumbe, 1846 (cropped and cleaned).
