Biography

Margaret Allen Howe (May 2, 1897 – 1989) was an American pioneer in women's squash. She was born in Greenfield, Massachusetts. She won the U.S. Women's Squash Singles National Championship in 1929, 1932 and 1934 after giving birth to a son, William Francis Howe, Jr, in 1922 and twin daughters (and future squash champions) Betty and Peggy in 1924.
Her husband, William "Bill" Francis Howe, Sr., encouraged her to play, and she played under the name Mrs. William F. Howe. In 1929, Howe organized and won the first sanctioned women's squash tournament in the United States. The intercollegiate Howe Cup was created by Margaret and her daughter, Betty, then Princeton University Women's Varsity Squash Coach; Margaret donated the permanent trophy.
She and her husband lived in Nantucket, Massachusetts after he retired in 1948. Howe died in Nantucket in December 1989 and is buried with her husband at the Old North Cemetery there
