Marietta Holley, (born 6/16/36, Jefferson cnty, N.Y., U.S.—died 3/1/26, Jefferson cnty), American humorist who popularized women’s rights and temperance doctrines under the pen names Josiah Allen’s Wife and Samantha Allen. Samantha Allen challenged the status quo of social and political reality of the times and planted herself squarely on the side of sensible women's rights.

Her style of writing was often compared both in content and popularity with that of the famous Mark Twain. She used wit and gentle satire to prose questions concerning women's lack of rights in a then male-dominated world.
In 1873 she published her first book, My Opinions and Betsy Bobbet’s. Holley subsequently published some 20 books. Her books were widely read and were translated into a number of languages. They include Samantha at the Centennial (1876), Samantha at the World’s Fair (1893), and Josiah Allen on the Woman Question (1914).

In the beginning of each story, Samantha encounters a problem that necessitates leaving on a journey outside of her rural hometown. On her journey, Samantha displays small-town common sense to satirize big-city American life. Her humorous novels an insightful social perspective won her the friendship of prominent reformers, including Susan B. Anthony.
