Margaret Howe (1896–1989) was an American pioneer in women's squash. She won the national championship in 1929, 1932 and 1934, after giving birth to twin daughters (and future squash champions) Betty and Peggy.[1]
Her husband, William Francis Howe, encouraged her to play, and she played under the name Mrs. William F. Howe.[2] Howe organized and won the first sanctioned women's squash tournament in the United States. The intercollegiate Howe Cup was created by her.
