Elizabeth Johnson (pamphleteer)
Elizabeth Johnson née Reynolds (8 July 1721 – 14 May 1800) was an English pamphleteer who attempted to win one of the rewards offered by the Longitude Act passed in 1714. Johnson and Jane Squire are the only two women known to have done so. It was not considered an appropriate subject for early modern women especially given its financial, maritime, and government dimensions.
==Early background==
She was born to the Rev. Samuel Reynolds and his wife Theophilia in Plympton, Devon. Among her siblings was the acclaimed artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, who used her as a model for works which were widely copied in mezzotint.() The two would later quarrel over Joshua's lack of piety and over her husband's precarious financial situation and eventual bankruptcy.
Their other siblings included the author Mary Palmer and painter Frances Reynolds.
