Mary Ellen Mannix

Mary Ellen Walsh Mannix (1846–1938) was an American Catholic author whose writing ranged across poetry, fiction, biography, essays, reviews, and translations. Records of her works and public-domain listings also show her published as Mary E. Mannix and Mary Ellen Walsh Mannix.

She appears to have been especially active in religious and historical writing for general readers. Surviving editions of her books include Chronicles of "The Little Sisters" and A Child's Life of St. Joan of Arc, which reflect her interest in Catholic subjects and in writing that could introduce younger audiences to history and faith.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources available here, her bibliography suggests a writer of wide interests and steady output. She left behind a body of work that combines devotion, narrative clarity, and a strong sense of audience.
