Helen Rowland

Helen Rowland (1876–1950) was an American journalist and humorist celebrated for her sharp, epigrammatic observations on love, marriage, and relations between women and men. She gained wide popularity through syndicated newspaper columns that distilled social commentary into memorable aphorisms, often blending wit with a skeptical view of romantic ideals. Rowland’s sayings circulated broadly in the early twentieth century, quoted in newspapers, magazines, and later collections of maxims. Her work reflects the era’s changing attitudes toward courtship and domestic life, and she remains best known for concise one-liners that capture the comedy and contradictions of modern relationships.
