Lena Jane Fry

Lena Jane Hawke Fry (March 6, 1850[1] – October 26, 1938) was a Canadian-born American writer.

Her Other Worlds (1905) is considered an early utopian novel by a North American woman.

Both of her parents were born in the United States;[5] her father was a lawyer and a local official in Waterloo County.

[6] She married Stephen Fry in 1870,[5] and had five children (one son died in infancy).

[7] In 1907, Fry was drawn into a public controversy when her daughter, actress Nena Blake,[8] refused to marry a suitor who spent extravagantly, either on building or destroying her stage career.
