Elizabeth Montizambert

Elizabeth Montizambert was a Canadian journalist and writer, born in 1875 and deceased in 1964. Sources consistently identify her as a journalist, and later references to her work show that she lived in London and was known there as a Canadian author and broadcaster.

She is remembered in part as one of the Canadian women journalists who wrote about the First World War. Later accounts of women war reporters describe her as having been in France during the war and witnessing the suffering of civilians first-hand. She also appears in accounts of Princess Marie of Croy's wartime circle, which describe Montizambert as a close friend after time spent in occupied territory.

Her best-known surviving book is Unnoticed London, a travel work that invites readers to look beyond the city's famous landmarks and notice its hidden history and overlooked streets. That mix of curiosity, clear observation, and sympathy for ordinary lives gives her writing its lasting charm.
