Lucy A. Mallory (née, Rose; c. 1843 or 1856 — September 4, 1920) was an American writer, publisher, editor, and spiritualist. She was also a “suffragist, vegetarian, and devotee of metaphysical experiences.” Leo Tolstoy was so influenced by Mallory’s magazine, the monthly spiritualist, The World’s Advance Thought, that he called her the “greatest woman in America.” Mallory was editor and publisher of The World’s Advance Thought and the Universal Republic — two periodicals printed under one cover — published for more than thirty years. She died in 1920. [Description from Wikipedia]
