Considered both eccentric and influential, he delivered speeches and published essays, novels, poems, and short stories between the 1810s and 1870s in the United States and Great Britain, championing <a href="/wiki/American_literary_nationalism" title="American literary nationalism">American literary nationalism</a> and <a href="/wiki/American_literary_regionalism" title="American literary regionalism">regionalism</a> in their earliest stages. Neal advanced the development of <a href="/wiki/Visual_art_of_the_United_States" title="Visual art of the United States">American art</a>, fought for <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_rights" title="Women's rights">women's rights</a>, advocated the end of <a href="/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States" title="Slavery in the United States">slavery</a> and racial prejudice, and helped establish the <a href="/wiki/Turners" title="Turners">American gymnastics movement</a>. The first American author to use natural <a href="/wiki/Diction" title="Diction">diction</a> and a pioneer of <a href="/wiki/Colloquialism" title="Colloquialism">colloquialism</a>, Neal was the first to use the phrase <a href="/wiki/Son-of-a-bitch" class="mw-redirect" title="Son-of-a-bitch">son-of-a-bitch</a> in a US work of fiction. He attained his greatest literary achievements between 1817 and 1835, during which time he was America's first daily newspaper columnist, the first American published in British <a href="/wiki/Literary_journal" class="mw-redirect" title="Literary journal">literary journals</a>, author of the first history of <a href="/wiki/American_literature" title="American literature">American literature</a>, America's first <a href="/wiki/Art_critic" title="Art critic">art critic</a>, a short story pioneer, a children's literature pioneer, and a forerunner of the <a href="/wiki/American_Renaissance_(literature)" title="American Renaissance (literature)">American Renaissance</a>. As one of the first men to advocate women's rights in the US and the first American lecturer on the issue, for over fifty years he supported female writers and organizers, affirmed intellectual equality between men and women, fought <a href="/wiki/Coverture" title="Coverture">coverture</a> laws against women's economic rights, and demanded <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_the_United_States" title="Women's suffrage in the United States">suffrage</a>, equal pay, and better education for women. He was the first American to establish a public gymnasium in the US and championed athletics to regulate violent tendencies with which he himself had struggled throughout his life. A largely self-educated man who attended no schools after the age of twelve, Neal was a child laborer who left self-employment in <a href="/wiki/Dry_goods" title="Dry goods">dry goods</a> at twenty-two to pursue dual careers in law and literature. By middle age, Neal had attained comfortable wealth and community standing in his native <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Maine" title="Portland, Maine">Portland, Maine</a>, through varied business investments, arts patronage, and civic leadership. Neal is considered an author without a masterpiece, though his short stories are his highest literary achievements and ranked with the best of his age. <a href="/wiki/Rachel_Dyer" title="Rachel Dyer">Rachel Dyer</a> is considered his best novel, "Otter-Bag, the Oneida Chief" and "David Whicher" his best tales, and <a href="/wiki/The_Yankee" title="The Yankee">The Yankee</a> his most influential periodical. His "Rights of Women" speech (1843) at the peak of his influence as a feminist had a considerable impact on the future of the movement. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biography">Biography</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Neal_(writer)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Biography">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Childhood_and_early_employment">Childhood and early employment</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Neal_(writer)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Childhood and early employment">edit</a>]</div> John Neal and his twin sister Rachel were born in the town of <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Maine" title="Portland, Maine">Portland</a> in the Massachusetts <a href="/wiki/District_of_Maine" title="District of Maine">District of Maine</a> on August 25, 1793, the only children of parents John and Rachel Hall Neal.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESears197815-1">[1]</a> The senior John Neal, a school teacher, died a month later.
