Dr. Hallie Farmer (1881–1960) was an American college professor, political activist, and historian. Farmer was also heavily involved in the women's political rights movement and frequently wrote letters to her representatives in Alabama if she was unpleased by public affairs. Farmer also advocated for prison reform and against voting discrimination. Farmer's educational background is extensive. She served as the head of the political science and history department at Alabama College for Women (now the University of Montevallo) during the period of 1927-49 and from 1949-1956, as the Dean of the Social Sciences Department.
