Margaret Fuller (1810-1850), who led the “Conversations” of the Transcendentalist Movement and edited its publication, The Dial, lived here for a few years starting in 1839 in a house no longer standing. She was a leading thinker of her day, articulate as a conversationalist, thinker, author, and feminist. Her radical thoughts based on a belief in creativity, intuition, and the human spirit had a major influence on American thought. The Boston Public School at 25 Glen Road was named after her until 2004.
