About Ann Fisher
Ann Fisher was an English grammarian and successful author of several books. With A New Grammar (1745), she became the first woman to publish on modern English grammar, although Elizabeth Elstob had published a grammar of Anglo-Saxon in 1715. She was also the first woman to publish an English dictionary, and the first grammarian to suggest that masculine pronouns be used generically. Her daughter Sarah inherited and ran The Newcastle Chronicle, which Fisher and her husband had co-founded.
