Flora E. Lowry

Flora E. Lowry

Flora E. Lowry (née, Woods; September 14, 1879 – April 21, 1933) was an American anthologist from Wisconsin, affiliated with the American Literary Association. In the early 1900s, she collected and catalogued the work of authors from the state. Lowry possessed what was perhaps the most complete private collection of books by Wisconsin writers and of data concerning Wisconsin authors in the state. Her activism led her to establish, design, and execute the "Hall of Fame for Wisconsin Authors".

Lowry's career began as a teacher, before she became a prodigious writer, mostly of poetry. She was also a club woman who lectured at women's clubs and literary societies on the literature of Wisconsin, bringing along exhibits of books and publications published in the state.
