She expressed these views in an 1843
Dial essay titled "The Great Lawsuit: Man
versus Men, Woman
versus Women," which she later revised and expanded into
Woman in the Nineteenth Century, and Kindred Papers Relating to the Sphere, Condition and Duties, of Woman (1845), the book for which she is best known and one that is widely viewed as a founding text of the American feminist movement. She was also a pioneer in the field of journalism, becoming one of the first women in America to work as a salaried columnist for a major newspaper. She spent two years in New York writing for Horace Greeley's
New-York Daily Tribune, where she expanded her initial assignment as a reviewer of literature and the arts into a broader role of social critic, writing on issues ranging from poverty to women's rights to slavery. This interest in reform shaped the final years of her life, when she served as a foreign correspondent for the
New-York Daily Tribune during her travels in England, France, and Italy. While in Italy she married Giovanni Ossoli, an Italian marchese, gave birth to their son, and not only chronicled the republican revolution of 1848 but also became actively involved in it, serving as a nurse during the siege of Rome.
