Louisa Morton Greene (née Louisa Morton Willard; May 23, 1819 - March 5, 1900) was a 19th-century American reformer, writer, abolitionist, suffragist, women's rights worker, temperance worker, and Civil War relief worker,[1] from Massachusetts. Though she had limited schooling, she was the first American woman to rebel against discrimination towards women in industry, refusing to accept a woman's pay rate after doing a man's job.[2] Greene was also an early champion of the temperance and suffrage causes in her writing and speaking engagements. She died in 1900.
