The Literary Life of Feminist Pioneer Margaret Fuller

On October 20, 1839, Margaret Fuller was appointed editor of the new Transcendental Magazine "The Dial". An excerpt from the article:

"The American author, editor, and reformer Margaret Fuller holds a uniquely important place in 19th century history. Often remembered as a colleague and confidante of Ralph Waldo Emerson and others of the New England Transcendentalist movement, Fuller was also a feminist at a time when the role of women in society was severely limited.

Fuller published several books, edited a magazine, and was a correspondent for the New York Tribune before dying tragically at the age of 40."
