Jean McKishnie Blewett (pen name, Katherine Kent; 4 November 1862 – 19 August 1934) was a Canadian journalist, author and poet.

[1][2] Blewett was born Janet McKishnie in Scotia, Kent County, Canada West, in 1862 to Scottish immigrants[3] (some sources say 1872).

[1] In 1919, assisted by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, she published a booklet titled Heart Stories to benefit war charities.

[1] After her death, fellow female journalist Bride Broder wrote in tribute: There is a simplicity about Mrs. Blewett's prose and verse that has made a wide appeal, and her gay-hearted attitude to life, the humorous twists she gave to little things, made her very welcome as a speaker at women's gatherings.

In all her writings she touched on the things that appeal to women everywhere and, in doing so, won the admiration of men readers also.
