Eliza L. Sproat Turner (1826 – June 20, 1903) was an American writer, women's club founder and leader, abolitionist, and suffragette.

Her mother, Maria Lutwyche, came to the United States with her parents and two sisters about 1818 from Birmingham, England and settled in Philadelphia.

[1] Turner gave birth to their son, Nathaniel Archer[2][4] on November 7, 1858, following Randolph's unexpected death.

[2] Eliza Sproat Turner died June 20, 1903, eight months after the death of her husband,[1] at Windtryst, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.

[5] Florence Earle Coates wrote "In Memory: Eliza Sproat Turner", which was published in her book Mine and Thine in 1904.

She wrote Nobody to Blame in 1887 about a woman, used to the city life, who became a farmer's wife and lamented over having "a mind that is never consulted, a will that is never respected".

[1] Turner brought poor children from the city to stay in the summer at her country estate for a week.

In 1875, she developed a formal program, the Children's Country Week Association of Philadelphia based upon her efforts.

She was a founding member of Philadelphia's consumer's league and director of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
