Elizabeth Eggleston Seelye (December 15, 1858 - November 11, 1923) was an American writer and biographer. Her story "The A.O.I.B.R.", which appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1889 with an illustration of a child reading, is cited by the Rockwell Centre for American Visual Studies as an early illustration of a girl reading. Allegra Eggleston (Seelye's sister) and Rosina Emmet Sherwood provided illustrations for Seelye's stories.
