Lucy A. Mallory (née, Rose; c. 1843 or 1856—September 4, 1920) was an American writer, publisher, editor, and spiritualist.[1] She was also a "suffragist, vegetarian, and devotee of metaphysical experiences". Leo Tolstoy was so influenced by Mallory's magazine, the monthly spiritualist,[2] The World's Advance Thought,[3] that he called her the "greatest woman in America".[4] 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.[5] She died in 1920.
