Elizabeth Ellis (1874–1913) was a British novelist and travel writer known for her historical romances and vivid accounts of her travels. Born in Wigan, near Manchester, she was the daughter of a prominent English solicitor. Despite the societal norms of her time, Ellis studied English literature at Oxford University before women were allowed to earn degrees there. In 1899, she published An English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah, a humorous travel account based on her six-month stay in Burma, which was then part of British India. This work was widely praised for its wit and remains one of her most remembered contributions. Ellis went on to write six novels and several short stories, most of which were historical romances. Her works were generally well-received, with praise for her vivid characters and knowledge of historical periods, although some critics questioned the over-saturation of the genre. She married Godfrey Baker in 1908 but continued to publish under her maiden name. Tragically, she died in childbirth in 1913 at the age of 39. Ellis is remembered for her contributions to historical fiction and her distinctive travel writing.
