Elizabeth Strong Worthington (October 5, 1851 – October 2, 1916)[1] was an American writer during the latter part of the 19th century.

Her first books, When Peggy Smiled: A Love Story and The Biddy Club, were published in 1888. They were followed, in 1898, by The Little Brown Dog and How to Cook Husbands (arguably her most popular work).[2] Her final book was The Gentle Art of Cooking Wives, published in 1900.[3]

She sometimes wrote under the pen name Griffith A. Nicholas.
