Elsie Reasoner Ralph (April 25, 1878 – April 29, 1913) was an American war correspondent in Cuba and a sculptor. The first female war correspondent in US history, Ralph travelled to Cuba to cover the Spanish–American War under the cover story of being a nursing volunteer. She married Lester Ralph on May 15, 1904, in New York City. Moving to London, Ralph achieved the sum of $2,650 for a sculpted sundial, circa 1911.
