<span class="mw-page-title-main">Margaret Colby Getchell Parsons</span> American writer

Margaret Colby Getchell Parsons (1891–1970) was an American journalist in the 1920s. Although a features writer, rather than an investigative reporter, she matched her investigative peers in originality and, like them, also wrote on under-reported "women's issues." In long-form articles like "What is Least on which a Working Woman Can Live?" she focused on practical issues, such as women's poverty-level wages. But there were also numerous profiles of brave female role models, including Clara Barton, Joan of Arc and Marie, Romania's last queen, who "fled the fairy tale" to minister to wounded soldiers during World War I.
