Agnes Repplier (April 1, 1855 – December 15, 1950) was an American essayist. She was reportedly expelled from two schools for "independent behaviour" and was illiterate until the age of ten. She received early writing guidance from a nun, Mary Paulina Finn, who wrote under the pseudonym M. S. Pine. Despite her early educational challenges, Repplier became a prominent figure in American essay writing. Her work featured literary criticism and observations on contemporary life. Her first essay, "Children, Past and Present," was published in the Atlantic Monthly in April 1886.
