Margaret Allen Howe (1897–1989) was a pioneer for Squash in America.
She won the U.S. Women's Squash Singles National Championship in 1929, 1932 and 1934 after giving birth to a son, William Francis Howe Jr., in 1922 and twin daughters (and future squash champions) Betty and Peggy in 1924.
In 1929, Howe organized and won the first sanctioned women's squash tournament in the United States.
[2] In 1955, Virginia Griggs of New York City donated a permanent trophy to an annual women's 5-persons intercity tournament, thus dubbing the tournament The Howe Cup.
