Robert Blincoe (c. 1792–1860) was an English author and former child labourer.
 He became famous during the 1830s for his popular autobiography, "A Memoir of Robert Blincoe", an account of his childhood spent in a workhouse.
 However, there are some doubts about whether this detailed observation of Blincoe's early life can be considered 'autobiography'.
 According to John Waller, in his book "The Real Oliver Twist", his life story was told to a John Brown, who wrote the manuscript of a biography of Blincoe before committing suicide later the same year.
 But Brown had given his manuscript to a friend, Robert Carlile, who published the resulting book, "A Memoir of Robert Blincoe", in five episodes in his magazine "The Lion" in 1832.

 She was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, studied at Swarthmore and at Radcliffe colleges; and married Frederic C. Martin in 1889.
 She became known for her stories of "the Pennsylvania Dutch," the shorter ones contributed to "Leslie's", the "Century", the "Cosmopolitan", the "Ladies' Home Journal", and other magazines.
 Her early work was so harshly photographic and sensational that it was quite naturally resented by the people whom she portrayed.
 Her well-known novel "Tillie: a Mennonite Maid" (1904) especially provoked many cries of misrepresentation.
 The story, about a young girl of Pennsylvania Dutch, but not Mennonite, background, though she briefly joins a Reformed Mennonite church in her teens, chronicles the early life of a girl who eventually becomes a school teacher, attends college, and marries, escaping the domination of her harsh father.
