Rosamond McPherson "Roz" Young (October 4, 1912 – September 18, 2005) was an author, educator, historian, and for more than 25 years a "beloved" columnist for The Dayton Daily News and, prior to that, The Journal Herald in Dayton, Ohio. Her columns appeared on the Op-Ed page at a time when few women received bylines outside the Women's Pages. She was noted for taking other writers to task for lapses in grammar and for frequently including mention of her cat, Edith, in her columns.
