Margaret Moran Dixon McDougall
Margaret Moran Dixon McDougall (1828–1899) was a Canadian writer, journalist, and poet known for her contributions to Canadian literature in the 19th century. Born in Northern Ireland, she immigrated to Canada, where she became active in writing, particularly addressing social issues and rural life. Her best-known work, "The Letters of 'Dinna Forget,'" a series of essays originally published in the Toronto "Globe", reflected her keen insights on the struggles of early settlers in Canada. McDougall also authored the novel "The Days of a Life" (1883), which explored themes of family and morality.
