Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) was one of the most influential American women of her time. During her short life, she worked as an editor, teacher, literary critic, and journalist. For two years (1840-42), she edited The Dial magazine. This periodical grew out of Fuller's correspondence with a circle of friends and an exciting intellectual movement in New England known as Transcendentalism. Transcendentalists believed that each individual should strive not to acquire money or possessions, but rather to perfect his or her mind and spirit. They were idealists and believed truth, beauty, and goodness could be found in a divine world beyond the reach of the five senses.
