Anna M. Morrison Reed (1849/50-1921) was an American poet, lecturer, and suffragist,[1] who for many years, was also the editor and publisher of a newspaper and a magazine.

[2] Her father was Guy E. Morrison, who mined near Oroville, California in 1850, after an ox-team journey across the Great Plains.

[2] She then started on a lecturing tour, traveling on horseback with her youngest brother through woods where trails were a matter of conjecture, and frequented by Native Americans, she visited practically all of Northern California.

[6] She was called on to lecture before the Agricultural Association of Northern California; and was appointed one of the commissioners on the state board for the Columbian Exposition in 1892.

Her organizing talents gave her the distinction of again being solicited to aid in raising funds for the Midwinter Fair of San Francisco the following year.

[1] In her later years, Mrs. Reed made her home in Ukiah, California until her illness necessitated her removal to San Francisco several months before her death.
