"Helen Rowland" was an United States/American journalist and humorist. For many years she wrote a column in the New York World newspaper called Reflections of a Bachelor Girl. Many of her pithy insights from these columns were published in book form, including Reflections of a Bachelor Girl (1909), The Rubáiyát of a Bachelor (1915), and A Guide to Men (1922).
She is often confused with Helen May Rowland, a singer-actress who had a brief radio and recording career in the early 1930s.
