Helen Bosanquet (née Dendy; 10 February 1860 – 7 April 1925)[1] was an English social theorist, social reformer, and economist concerned with poverty, social policy, working-class life, and modern social work practices. Helen worked closely with the Charity Organisation Society (COS), using her direct experience with living among "the poor". Bosanquet focused much of her career on family, specifically working-class families, and their relationship with poverty.[2] Helen was the wife of English philosopher Bernard Bosanquet.
