Anne Catherine Hoof Green (1720–1775) by Charles Willson Peale

Anne Catherine Hoof Green (c. 1720 – March 23, 1775) was a printer and publisher

Anne Hoof was most likely born in the Netherlands around 1720. She emigrated to America and lived in Annapolis, Maryland. Her husband, Jonas Green (c1720-1767), died in 1767, and she operated his printing business. The business published the Maryland Gazette and was Marylands official printer. Anne Green was sympathetic to the revolution the Maryland Gazette contained early attacks on British rule. Green had her portrait painted by Charles Willson Peale after he returned to America in 1769 from several years of study in London.
