Minnetta Theodora Taylor (March 2, 1860 - July 26, 1911) was an American author and poet. A polyglot, Taylor spoke 45 languages. She was also a clubwoman and suffragist. Shortly after Taylor's death in 1911, the Woman Suffrage Party post-humously awarded her the prize for the best poem, "Ballot Song of American Women", to be set to music and to become the National Suffrage Anthem. Among her intimate friends were the writers, James Whitcomb Riley, Lew Wallace, George Ade, , Rex Beach, and Bliss Carman; Opie Read called her "The Little Sister of Poets".
