Grace Eleanor Hadow (1875–1940) was an author and academic administrator who played a notable role in early twentieth-century education and community organization. Born in December 1875, she dedicated her career to both literary endeavors and institutional leadership, bridging the gap between academic life and public service.\n\nHadow is particularly recognized for her leadership at the University of Oxford, where she served as the principal of the institution that would later become St Anne's College. In addition to her academic work, she was highly active in civic life, serving as the vice-chair of the National Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI). Through these dual paths of authorship and administration, Hadow worked to support education and community development until her death in January 1940.
