Mary Bigelow Ingham (née, Janes; pen name, Anne Hathaway; March 10, 1832 - 17 November 1923) was an American author, educator, and religious worker.

Dedicated to teaching, missionary work, and temperance reform, she served as professor of French and belles-lettres in the Ohio Wesleyan College; presided over and addressed the first public meeting ever held in Cleveland conducted exclusively by religious women; co-founded the Western Reserve School of Design (later, Cleveland Institute of Art); and was a charter member of the order of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

John Janes, Sr., emigrated to Delaware County, Ohio while Daniel Brown settled in Ann Arbor, Michigan Territory.

In time, they became parents of five children, which included Mary B.; Eliza R. (died young); Emma, was a professor in Central California, later becoming a writer and journalist in Washington, D.C.; and Frank, who went into the railroads business.

During a portion of the six years spent there, she boarded and studied in the family of Madame Pierre Gollier, learning to speak the French language fluently.

She presided over and addressed the first public meeting ever held in the city of Cleveland conducted exclusively by religious women.

In March 1874, being in charge of the praying community of her own city, she led for six weeks a very successful temperance crusade and was among the most active of Cleveland women in establishing inns, reading rooms, and chapels.

She was one of the original committee members in Chautauqua, New York that projected in August 1874 the formation of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

While in Delaware, encouraged by Professor W. G. Williams, she wrote her first story, for which he gave her the subject, "Something to Come Home To," receiving for it US$15 from The Ladies' Repository.

In 1880, at the request of the management of the "Leader," she began, in a series of articles covering three years' space, the "History of Woman's Work in Cleveland since 1830."
