Florence Marion Howe Hall (1845–1922) was an American writer, critic, and lecturer who was a prominent advocate for women's suffrage in the United States. Active during a period of significant social reform, Hall utilized her platform as both an author and a public speaker to champion the cause of women's enfranchisement and equality.
Hall achieved her greatest literary distinction through a collaborative effort with her sisters, Laura Elizabeth Richards and Maude Howe Elliott. Together, the sisters wrote Julia Ward Howe, a biography of their mother. This landmark work was awarded the first-ever Pulitzer Prize for Biography, establishing a historic milestone for the co-authors.
Throughout her career, Hall balanced her literary pursuits with active public engagement. Her contributions as a biographer, critic, and lecturer highlight her dedication to documenting and advancing the role of women in American society.
