Elizabeth Barr Arthur (née, Barr; after marriage, Arthur; pen name, Elizabeth N. Barr; 1884–1971) was an American poet, author, journalist, librarian, and suffragist. In 1913, she joined the police force in Topeka, Kansas, together with Eva Corning, the two of them becoming the first women in the U.S. to hold positions of regular patrolmen. She was the editor and publisher of the Club Member and Current Topics papers.[1][2] She was a prolific author, writing editorial, historical and feature pieces, but she preferred to be remembered as a poet.[3]
