E. B. (Ethel Brigham) Leatherbee

Ethel Brigham Leatherbee was an American author whose best-known book, The Christian Mythology, explores the historical roots and development of Christian beliefs. The book has remained her most visible work and is still read today through public-domain editions and audiobook recordings.

Her writing was not limited to religious criticism. In 1907 she privately published The Ancestors and Descendants of Luke Rogers and Sarah Wright Brown, a genealogical history that shows a very different side of her interests: careful family research and historical compilation.

Sources found during this search also describe her as an editor and composer, and note that she took part in civic work in Boston, including helping manage the Women's Municipal League campaign against the city's rat problem. She died on October 25, 1955, and is buried in Newton Cemetery in Newton, Massachusetts.
