Mary Lathrap (née Torrans; pen name, Lena; known as "The Daniel Webster of Prohibition"; April 25, 1838 - January 3, 1895) was a 19th-century American author, preacher, suffragist, and temperance reformer. For 20 years, she was identified with the progressive women of Michigan who had temperance, purity, and prohibition as their watchwords, and the white ribbon as their badge. She served as president of Michigan's Woman's Christian Temperance Union (1882), co-founded the state's suffrage organization (1870), and worked on the amendment campaign (1874). From 1871, Lathrap was a licensed preacher for the Methodist Episcopal Church.
