Kate Milner Rabb (August 9, 1866–July 3, 1937), born in Rockport, Indiana, was a columnist, editor, historian, and author. She has been described as a '"pioneer in the field of journalism,"' who influenced '"the destiny of women in journalism today."'[1] In 1896, her first book was published, titled, "National Epics," a collection of epic stories including, the Iliad, and the Odyssey.[2]

Rabb edited Indiana Women, a weekly magazine, and wrote a number of articles and stories for publications, including St. Nicholas magazine, and Youth's Companion. She edited and authored a number books and pamphlets, and columns, but was best known for her daily column, "A Hoosier Listening Post," for The Indianapolis Star. She was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 2012.[1][3]
