Ann Fisher (grammarian) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ann Fisher (grammarian)
Ann Fisher (bap 9 December 1719 – 2 May 1798) was an author and grammarian. Her ''A New Grammar'' published in 1745 makes her the earliest published female author on English grammar, with deference to Elizabeth Elstob who published a grammar for English-Saxon in 1715, though not English in the same sense. ==Life== Fisher was born in Lorton, Cumberland, England, the daughter of Henry Fisher, yeoman, of Oldscale. Not much more is known of her life until her marriage to Thomas Slack in December 1751. Together they had nine children and ran a number of businesses, including a Ladies School which Ann ran herself. In spite of the prejudices against women as "of inferior intelligence" in that time period, Ann managed to publish what is considered the 4th most popular English grammar book produced in the 18th century, as well as a number of other titles, many of which were published by her husband, Thomas. She died of an asthma attack in 1798, aged 78.
