Anita Calvert Lebourgeois (October 8, 1879 – March 18, 1940) was an attorney, judge, genealogist, biographer and women's suffrage orator.
[2] She was the great-grand niece of James Buchanan, 15th President of the United States and a direct descendant of the Calverts, Baron Baltimore.
[2] At an early age Calvert was adopted by her uncle, Earl M. Fairfax, who gave her every opportunity in the way of an education, a part of which was received at Wellesley College, where she took a special course in genealogy and later entered the Girls' Finishing School at Hartfordbury, Lancashire, England.
[2] Just before a presidential election in New York, Calvert heard of a Tammany Hall meeting that the newspapers were anxious to report, but to which their representatives were denied admission.
In March 1913, Calvert founded her own paper, The Invincible Magazine of History and Biography, the only publication of its kind edited by a woman.
Her purpose was to promote the standard of American aristocracy of birth by bringing to light many hundreds of pedigrees of prominent men and women in the high places in the United States.
