Virginia Frances Townsend (1836
– August 11, 1920) was an American author. Townsend was editor of Arthur's Lady's Home
Magazine and a contributing author to other magazines. She
later taught at Dr. Dio
Lewis's School for Young Ladies where she was an advocate of
exercise and physical education for women. She was a member of the Boston Authors Club. A
group of librarians in Boston put Townsend's name on a list of authors whose
books should be banned from
libraries because of "false and dangerous ideas of
life" purportedly in the books.
