1882–1960
A reform-minded writer and investigator, she is best known for co-authoring forceful books that exposed the exploitation of women under imperial systems. Her work paired moral conviction with on-the-ground inquiry, giving her books lasting historical interest.

by Elizabeth W. Andrew, Katharine C. (Katharine Caroline) Bushnell
Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew was an American writer and reformer whose surviving published work is closely tied to social-purity and women's-rights activism. Public-domain library records and author pages identify her as the co-author, with Katharine C. Bushnell, of The Queen's Daughters in India (1899) and Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers (1907).
Those books challenged systems of regulated prostitution and the treatment of women in colonial settings, especially in India and other parts of Asia. The tone is urgent and investigative, and the collaboration with Bushnell places Andrew within a broader network of Christian feminist and reform movements active around the turn of the twentieth century.
Reliable biographical detail about her life appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember her mainly through the books she helped create and the causes they served. Even from that partial record, she stands out as a writer who used print to press for accountability, dignity, and protection for women.
