Elizabeth Maria Bowen Thompson (née, Lloyd; after marriage, Thompson; pen name, Mrs. Bowen Thompson; 1812/13 – 14 November 1869) was a British educator missionary who founded the British Syrian Schools.[1] Early on, she was brought under strong religious influences.[2] After being widowed herself, she developed an affinity for the widows of the Crimean War, Indian Rebellion of 1857, and 1860 Mount Lebanon civil war, and provided them with support. Her simple and graphic letters narrated her life's work.[3] The Daughters of Syria was published in 1872.
