Elizabeth Robins Pennell (February 21, 1855 - February 7, 1936)was an American writer who, for most of her adult life, made her home inLondon. A recent researcher summed her up as 'an adventurous,accomplished, self-assured, well-known columnist, biographer, cookbookcollector, and art critic'; in addition, she wrote travelogues,mainly of European cycling voyages, and memoirs, centred on her London salon.Her biographies included the first in almost a century of the proto-feministMary Wollstonecraft, one of her uncle the folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland,and one of her friend the painter Whistler. In recent years, her artcriticism has come under scrutiny, and her food criticism has been reprinted.
