JudithSargentMurray (1751-1820) was an United States feminist essayist, playwright, poet, and letter-writer.
Murray was one of the first American proponents of the idea of equality of the sexes; that women had the capability for intellectual accomplishment and economic independence just as much as men.
Murray, who became a Universalist early in life, had a strong influence on the Universalist religion's treatment of women through her second husband, John Murray, who brought the religion to the United States fom England; much of the Universalist position on women's equality comes from her ideas.
JudithSargentMurray (May 5, 1751-June 9, 1820), essayist, poet, and playwright, was the most prominent woman essayist of her day.
Judith was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the oldest child of Judith Saunders and Winthrop Sargent.
Judith's concern for their religious upbringing, and for that of the growing number of Universalist children in Gloucester, propelled her into the role of religious educator.
