Helen Reimensnyder Martin (1868-1939) was an American author. She was born at Lancaster, Pa., studied at Swarthmore and at Radcliffe colleges; and married Frederic C. Martin in 1889. She became known for her stories of "the Pennsylvania Dutch," the shorter ones contributed to "Leslie's", the "Century", the "Cosmopolitan", the "Ladies' Home Journal", and other magazines. Her early work was so photographic that it was resented by the people among whom she lived. She wrote:
* "Warren Hyde" (1897)
* "The Elusive Hildegarde" (1900)
* "Tillie, a Mennonite Maid" (1904)
* "Sabina, A Story of the Amish" (1905)
* "His Courtship" (1907)
* "The Betrothal of Elypholate" (1907)
* "The Revolt of Ann Royle" (1908)
* "The Crossways" (1910; new edition, 1914)
* "When Half-Gods Go" (1911)
* "The Fighting Doctor" (1912)
* "The Parasite" (1913)
* "Barnabetta" (1914)
* "Martha of the Mennonite Country" (1915)
* "Those Fitzenbergers" (1917)
