Louisa Lawson, 1848-1920, was a journalist and social reformer. Her early life was spent near Mudgee, N.S.W. In 1883 she separated from her husband, Peter Larsen, and moved to Sydney. Here she established the journals 'Republican' in 1887 and 'Dawn' in 1888 and founded the Dawn Club, a social reform club for women in 1888. As well as her contributions to periodicals, she published the tale 'Dert and Do' in 1904 and a book of verse 'The Lonely Crossing' in 1905.
Louisa Lawson was the mother of Henry Lawson, poet and short story writer. - Description source
