Mary Alice Harriman (March 12, 1861 – December 24, 1925) was a poet, author (of poetry, novels, short stories and non-fiction) and publisher.

[1] She wrote A Man of Two Countries, Chaperoning Adrienne; a tale of the Yellowstone national park (illustrated by Charles M. Russell) and Will Thou Not Sing.

The next year, she started a publishing company, using only her maiden name, Harriman.

[2] Harriman was interested in Native American issues, and friend to Adelaide Hanscom Leeson, of the Photo Secessionist Movement.

This girl's adventure book influenced a young Nez Perce girl living in rural Idaho to become one of the first female Native American writers.
