Mary Catherine Seymour Howell (August 29, 1844 - 1913) was a leader, lecturer, and activist for women's suffrage in the United States. She authored the bill granting women the right to vote in New York State that passed in 1892. She was a very magnetic orator, her addresses enlivened with anecdotes, and through them all ran a vein of sentiment. Her speeches were received with enthusiasm, and the press spoke of her in terms of highest praise.
