(As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sarg...)
As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. As a committed feminist, she urged American women to enter a "new era in female history," yet published some of her own writings under a man's name in hopes of more widely disseminating her ideas. In addition to her literary endeavors Murray was a prolific letter-writer, and revealed in her correspondence, as elsewhere, her unwavering commitment to human rights. Also during this period, Murray produced numerous sketches of celebrated female contemporaries and her major work, The Gleaner. With selections from The Gleaner and Murray's other publications, this latest addition to the Women Writers in English series unearths an important early feminist voice, one that should engage the intellect and imagination of readers both inside and outside the academy.

Judith Sargent Murray (May 1, 1751 – June 9, 1820) was an early American advocate for women's rights, an essayist, playwright, poet, and letter writer. She was one of the first American proponents of the idea of the equality of the sexes—that women, like men, had the capability of intellectual accomplishment and should be able to achieve economic independence. Among many other influential pieces, her landmark essay "On the Equality of the Sexes" paved the way for new thoughts and ideas proposed by other feminist writers of the century. Judith Sargent Stevens published this Universalist catechism in 1782, privately, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Norwich, Connecticut. It is considered the earliest writing by an American Universalist woman. Written for children, her question-and-answer format neatly explains James Relly's Universalist theology. In her preface, Judith includes a clear statement about female equality. This is a new editon.

Judith Sargent Murray was born on May 1, 1751, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States. He was the daughter of Captain Winthrop Sargent, a prominent citizen and merchant, and his wife, Judith Saunders, descendant of an active seafaring family.
Murray was given an unusual education, sharing the studies of her brother Winthrop, in his preparation for Harvard.
Murray began writing in the 1770s, at first writing verse but soon turning to essay form, as the intellectual ferment of the Revolutionary period aroused interest in women’s rights. In 1784, under the pseudonym Constantia, she published a few essays in a Boston magazine, the Gentleman and Lady’s Town and Country Magazine, beginning with "Desultory Thoughts upon the Utility of Encouraging a Degree of Self-Complacency, Especially in Female Bosoms. "
In 1790 Murray’s poems began appearing in the Massachusetts Magazine, and from February 1792 to August 1794 she contributed a monthly column entitled "The Gleaner, " in which she commented on affairs and public questions of the day and especially on her particular interest, equal education for women.
In March 1795 her play The Medium, or A Happy Tea Party was produced at the Federal Street Theatre in Boston, probably the first play by an American author to be produced at that theatre. Both that play and her next, The Traveller Returned (produced 1796), were unsuccessful. In 1798 Murray’s "Gleaner" columns were collected and published in three volumes under that title. She edited her husband’s Letters and Sketches of Sermons (1812 – 1813) and, after his death in 1815, his Records of the Life of the Reverend John Murray, Written by Himself, with a Continuation by Mrs. Judith Sargent Murray (1816). In 1816 Murray left Boston to live in Natchez, where she died on July 6, 1820.

Quotations:
"Let there be then no coercion established in society, and the common law of gravity prevailing, the sexes will fall into their proper places. "
"Religion is 'twixt God and my own soul, Nor saint, nor sage, can boundless thought control. "
"A Universalist, your heart cannot but dilate, and your affections widen, until the divine expansion, like the ambient atmosphere, embraces every form, which is acted upon by an immortal spirit. "
On October 3, 1769, Judith Sargent married Captain John Stevens of Gloucester, who, after financial difficulties, sailed in 1786 for the West Indies, where he died on the island of St. Eustatius shortly afterward. On October 6, 1788, Judith Sargent Stevens married Reverend John Murray. They had two children, though only one survived infancy.
