Helen Rowland (1875–1950) was an American journalist, aphorist, and playwright best known for her sharp observations on love and relationships. She wrote a long-running column for the New York World, where she first gained popularity for her witty epigrams. Rowland specialized in turning societal expectations on their head, using humor to critique both romantic conventions and the double standards of men and women. Her voice remains one of the most distinct and clever in early 20th-century American commentary.
