S. M. Fuller's Summer on the Lakes in 1843
Summary
Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850) was a journalist, critic and women's rights activist. In 1836 she taught at the Temple School in Boston and from 1837 to 1839 taught in Providence, Rhode Island. She became friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson and became one of the leaders of the movement known as transcendentalism. She edited the transcendentalist journal, The Dial for the first two years of its existence from 1840 to 1842. In the mid-1840s she organized discussion groups of women in which a variety of subjects, such as mythology, art, education and women's rights, were debated. Ideas brought up in these discussions were developed in Fuller's major work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845). When shemoved to New York and joined Horace Greeley's New York Tribune as literary critic in 1844, she became the first female journalist to work on the staff of a major newspaper. Many of her writings were collected together by her brother Arthur as At Home and Abroad (1856) and Life Without and Life Within (1858).
