Frederica Maclean Rowan (22 April 1814 – 23 October 1882) was a British author and translator.
She worked for some years for the barrister and philanthropist Sir Francis Goldsmid.
Rowan had more moderate opinions believing that women should have equality under the law but without the need for political action.
[1] Her most notable translation is that of work by Johann Heinrich Daniel Zschokke[2] which was appreciated by Prince Albert.
After Albert's death, Queen Victoria asked Rowan to translate further and assisted her by editing the resulting text.
