Grace Alexander (1872–1951) was an American writer, journalist, and teacher.

Grace Caroline Alexander was born on June 14, 1872, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

She was educated in her city's public schools.[1]

Alexander taught in Indianapolis schools for many years.[1] In 1891-1903, she was society editor, editorial writer, and music critic of the Indianapolis News.[2] She wrote all of the musical criticisms, as well as much of the dramatic comment. Every Saturday, the News published a supplement of four pages directed to women. A considerable amount of Alexander's time was occupied every week in editing this supplement.[3] Subsequently, after 1904, she worked as a reader at the Bobbs-Merrill Company. [1] Alexander was the author of Judith. [2]
