Emma Ghent Curtis (May 18, 1860 – February 9, 1918) was an American novelist, poet, newspaper publisher, Populist, and suffragist.
Curtis published two Western novels in the late 1880s.
The second of these, The Administratrix, is the first cowboy novel outside of the dime novel tradition, preceding Owen Wister's The Virginian by more than a decade.
Curtis was instrumental in making women's suffrage part of the Populist platform.
