Winifred Ada Todhunter (1877, London – September 11, 1961, Ladner, British Columbia) was an educator, translator and founder of the Todhunter School for girls in New York City.
Educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College and London Day Training College, she was awarded a Gilchrist travelling studentship by the University of London for distinction in her B.A.
[1] Said to be a graduate of the University of Oxford,[citation needed] she translated Voltaire's historical novel about Charles XII of Sweden in 1908.
[2] In 1921 Todhunter purchased and renamed a private school for girls in Manhattan.
When Eleanor Roosevelt learned in 1927 that Todhunter wished to retire to England and needed a buyer for the school, Mrs. Roosevelt proposed a partnership with Marion Dickerman, who was then the school's vice-principal, and Nancy Cook.
