Elizabeth Bogart (pen names, Adelaide and Estelle; 1795 – May 12, 1879) was an American author of prose and poetry from New York City. She was published in numerous periodicals including the New-York Mirror. Rare for a woman at the time, Bogart was financially independent and wrote solely for her own pleasure, not out of a need for wages. One of her most famous poems, "He came too late," tells of a woman who spurns a fickle lover who did not tend to her. Her work covers a wide range of topics, including family, nature, relationships and femininity.
