Margaret Cullen was a Scottish novelist born in Glasgow in 1767. She was the daughter of Anna Johnston and William Cullen, a professor of medicine. Cullen is known for her authorship of the novel Quiet Strength. She shared an annual government pension of £200 with her two sisters after her father's death in 1790, and she spent most of her life living with her sisters in England. Her familial connections included her sister Robina, who married John Craig Millar, the son of philosopher John Millar, and emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1795. Robina was a frequent correspondent of the physician and activist Benjamin Rush, and she once informed him about the success of Cullen's novel Home, which Rush noted was widely read in America. Margaret Cullen died in Ilfracombe, Devon, on 18 September 1837.
