Elsie Locke
Elsie Locke (* 17. August 1912 in Waiuku als Elsie Violet Farrelly; † 8. April 2001 in Christchurch) war eine neuseeländische Schriftstellerin, Feministin und Sozialaktivistin.
Elsie Locke studierte und graduierte an der University of Auckland. Diese Zeit ihres Lebens wird in ihrem Buch „Student at the gates“ dargestellt.
