May Martin Van Wye (1878–1968) was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate. She was one of the first six women elected into the Ohio General Assembly in 1922.[1] In 1962, she published her first novel, Eve's Tower, which is loosely based on her experiences as a female state senator.[2]

Van Wye was born May Martin on December 31, 1878, in Brooklyn, New York to Lewis E. Martin and Ella M. Seaman.[3] She married Benjamin C. Van Wye (1867–1940), who became professor of speech at the University of Cincinnati.[4] She died August 26, 1968, in Cincinnati, Ohio.[3]
