    Elizabeth Towne

    Elizabeth Jones Towne (May 11, 1865 – June 1, 1960) was an influential writer, editor, and publisher in the New Thought and self-help movements.She married at quite an early age, but the marriage proved to be an unhappy one which ended in divorce. She had to support herself and her children.Her schooling had been interrupted by her early marriage and she had no background of business experience; but one day, as she tells it herself, it suddenly came to her that she should undertake to publish a small periodical. She had no capital with which to begin it, but secured some help from her father, $30 per month for a six-month period, and so launched the magazine which by a kind of inspiration she chose to call Nautilus.In May, 1900, Elizabeth brought the Nautilus to Holyoke, Massachusetts, and there married William E. Towne, a book and magazine publisher and distributor, and together they eventually built up a substantial and even profitable business in the publishing and distribution of the magazine and of New Thought books.Though never an official publication of the New Thought Movement, Nautilus was most probably the most widely read of the many that have appeared over the years, and was very influential.
