Jane Grant (May 29, 1892 – March 16, 1972) was a New York City print journalist who co-founded the magazine The New Yorker with her first husband, Harold Ross.

During World War I, Grant, who was also a talented singer and dancer, talked her way onto a troopship to France by joining the entertainment with the YMCA.

[2] In 1950, Grant and 22 former members restarted the Lucy Stone League; its first meeting was on 22 Mar 1950 in New York City.

[3] Grant was one of the founding members of the New York Newspaper Women's Club and served on its first board of directors after incorporation in 1924.

She brought her friend Janet Flanner into the magazine's coterie of correspondents, commissioning her enduring Letter from Paris column.

In the essay, she describes the experience of being a feminist, recounting her early career as a woman reporter among men for the Times and exploring discriminatory laws and practices.

In 1968, Grant published a memoir about her life entitled Ross, The New Yorker and Me (Reynal and Co., 1968 New York City).

[1] Upon his death in 1981, he left a $3.5 million bequest in his wife's name to establish the Center for the Study of Women in Society.
