Margrethe Vullum (born Lehmann; first married name Rode; 14 February 1846 – 14 August 1918) was a Danish-born Norwegian journalist, literary critic and proponent for women's rights.

Personal life

She was born in Copenhagen, a daughter of statesman Orla Lehmann. Her first marriage was with teacher Gotfred Rode, and she was a mother of politician Ove Rode and writer Helge Rode. In 1879 she married journalist Erik Vullum.

Vullum settled in Norway in 1879, became a journalist for the newspaper Dagbladet, and later for Verdens Gang. She was a pioneering female voice in the public debates of the time.
