Mary Sargeant Gove Nichols (born Neal; August 10, 1810 to May 30, 1884), also known by her pen name Mary Orme, was an American women's rights and health reform advocate, hydrotherapist, vegetarian socialist, and writer. Her later conversion to Catholicism caused her to abandon the free love movement and a fascination with seances, but she remained a health advocate and social progressive.
