Maisie Ward

Mary Josephine "Maisie" Ward Sheed (4 January 1889 – 28 January 1975), was a British writer, speaker, and publisher. In 1926 Maisie's brother Leo Ward was invited to be co-founder of the publishing house Sheed and Ward, but he proved ill-suited to the work. Maisie took his place when Leo left to become a priest.
