Sophia Ripley

Sophia Willard Dana Ripley (1803-1861), wife of George Ripley, was a nineteenth-century feminist associated with Transcendentalism and the Brook Farm community.

Biography

She was born Sophia Willard Dana in 1803. She became a friend of Margaret Fuller and was one of the women to attend Fuller's first series of "conversations". [Marshall, Megan. "The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism". Boston: Mariner Books, 2005: 386–387. ISBN 978-0-618-71169-7] Ripley was among the few regular women guests of the Transcendental Club in the 1830s, and she published an essay on women in "The Dial". In the 1840s she co-founded a Utopian community called Brook Farm along with her husband; but she became drawn to Catholicism and eventually converted, straining her relationship with George Ripley. She died in 1861.
