Fuller (Margaret) is born in Cambridge.

The daughter of Timothy and Margaret (Crane) Fuller, Margaret Fuller is educated at home, moves to Boston in 1836 [1837-Heath] to teach at the Temple School, and lives near today’s 486 Washington Street (then 1 Avon Place). After teaching in Providence, she returns to Boston, begins holding her so-called conversations in 1839,* and becomes, according to biographer Megan Marshall, “The first American female public intellectual.” Fuller goes to work for the New York Tribune in 1844, is sent to Europe in 1846 as the first female newspaper foreign correspondent in the U.S. Returning to America, she, her husband, the Marchese Giovanni Angelo Ossoli, and their infant son drown in a shipwreck off Fire Island on July 19, 1850.* Her remains are never found, but a monument is subsequently installed at her son’s grave in Mount Auburn Cemetery.
