Margaret Fishback, (March 10, 1900 - September 25, 1985), was a relatively well-published American poet and prose author from the late 1920s until the 1960s. Born in Washington, DC, she earned a degree from Goucher College before joining Macy's as a divisional advertising copywriter in 1926. During the 1930s she was reputed to be the world's highest-paid female advertising copywriter. She was published in The New Yorker, the New York Herald Tribune, and several well-known women's magazines.
Fishback's own poetry was mainly light verse; her poems generally offered wry takes on domesticity, marriage, and motherhood, and the life of working women in the city. She published her verse in magazines and authored several volumes of light verse, a book of etiquette, and children's stories.
