Elizabeth Frame
Elizabeth Murdoch Frame (182017 November 1904) was a Canadian writer and historian from
Nova Scotia. Born in
Shubenacadie, she attended the
Provincial Normal College and spent 30 years working as a public school teacher. Beginning her writing career in the 1860s, she was hesitant to publish under her own name as a woman, thus choosing the pseudonym "A Nova Scotian" for her first book. She was the author of two fiction books and four papers for the
Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society, becoming the first woman to prepare a paper for the society in 1879. She was made an honorary life member of the
Massachusetts Historical Society in 1892 for her work concerning the study of
Mi'kmaq place names in Nova Scotia.
