Sophia wrote letters about her life at Brook Farm and also taught the children who lived there. After Brook Farm closed in 1846, she continued to do charity work and write books. There once was a Boston Public School named after her on Temple Street in West Roxbury. Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) sometimes came to stay at Brook Farm. She was one of the most famous writers and thinkers of her time. She frequently spoke out for equal rights and opportunities for women. She was the first editor of the transcendentalist journal “The Dial” from 1840-1842. She worked closely with Ralph Waldo Emerson to publish essays about politics and literature.
