Mabel Emily Stringer (25 September 1868 – 10 February 1958) was a British golf enthusiast and sporting journalist.

Stringer was unaware of the championship until she hosted the Ladies' Golf Union's secretary Issette Pearson when she came to Littlestone to inspect the course.

The golfers played in leather bound skirts and hats and were required to change in a corrugated iron building as women were not allowed in the clubhouse.

She held the (joint) woman's course record at Littlestone and in 1902 she was on the national team for the international golf cup.

At the beginning her reports went to the society pages of a wide range of periodicals but in time women's golf was mentioned in newspaper's sports sections.

[1] In 1909 Littlestone golf club finally replaced the corrugated iron facilities for women heated by a small oil stove and Stringer was keen to point out the improving facilities for women at other golf clubs.
