The Life and Times of Judith Murray
Murray started publishing work in the Massachusetts magazine under a male persona called The Gleaner. In 1795, after Boston lifted its ban on theatrical productions, Murray tried her hand at writing plays. Neither of these plays was reviewed very well and neither earned much money though. Although she had endorsements from people like George Washington and John Adams, this was again not the runaway financial success that she was hoping for.
