Inez Early Robb (née Callaway; November 1900 – April 4, 1979) was an American journalist and war correspondent. During the height of her career, she was a household name and one of the highest paid female reporters by 1938, writing a syndicated column that was carried by 140 newspapers.
She worked for roughly two years as a general assignment reporter for the Tulsa Daily World until she was offered a position as an assistant editor for the Sunday section of the New York Daily News. She became the paper's society editor in 1928, a position that she held until 1938, when she joined the International News Service (INS). Robb wrote the column "Assignment America" until the beginning of World War II, when she became an accredited war correspondent, reporting on the work of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps in the North African campaign. After the war, she continued to write her column for INS until November 1953, when she began working as a columnist for Scripps-Howard and United Feature Syndicate.
