Mildred Aldrich (1853 – February 19, 1928) was an American journalist and writer. She was born in Providence, Rhode Island. She grew up in Boston, taught at elementary school there and went on into journalism.[1] She wrote for the Boston Home Journal, the Boston Journal and the Boston Herald. She started the short-lived The Mahogany Tree in 1892.[1] In 1898, she moved to France, and, while there, became a friend of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas[1]. She worked as a translator and moved to Huiry, near Paris[1]. During the First World War Aldrich wrote some books that were published back in the United States, based on her experiences in war-torn Europe.
