Elisabeth May Adams Craig (18891975) was a pioneering U.S. woman journalist, best known for her reports on the Second World War, Korean War and U.S. politics. She was a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and was also a campaigner for equality in children's education. Although May Craig was a Southerner, she got her break in journalism working for a Maine-based Gannett chain of newspapers (including the Portland Press Herald).
