Elsinore Justinia Robinson (April 30, 1883 – September 8, 1956) was an American journalist, poet, memoirist and short story writer, known for her syndicated Hearst column "Listen, World!"

Robinson hoped the temperate air would help George breathe easier and that her early publishing success would lead to enough steady work to allow her to leave her husband.

In 1915, Robinson, after failing to find regular editorial work, moved with George to Hornitos, California, where Wallace had struck gold at a deserted mine.

Suddenly impoverished, Robinson was forced to work as a common mucker in a gold mine – the lone woman in a motley crew of men – to make ends meet.

At night, she continued her quest to become a writer, typing by the light of a kerosene lamp on an ancient typewriter she borrowed from the town postmistress.

[5] After another bout of hard times – with a lot of desperation and little to eat – she burst into the city room of the Oakland Tribune with a mock-up of a children's section for the paper, which did not have one.

In 1921, she launched her third column, "Listen, World!," which marked her transition from local phenomenon to national figure and in which she commented on current events and cultural trends.
