Marguerite Elton Harrison Blake (1879–1967) was an American socialite who became a reporter and author, spy, filmmaker and translator. Although now known for her undercover work[1] as well as her extensive writings, she considered her main contributions as founding the Children's Hospital School near Baltimore as a young wife, and decades later helping to found the Society of Woman Geographers.[2]
