Edith Flack Ackley

Edith Flack Ackley Wengenroth (6 June 1887 – 28 November 1970) was an American writer and doll maker and designer.

She was born in Greenport, New York. She made her first dolls for her daughter. When her daughter, Telka, was older she did water color paintings that were portraits of Ackley's dolls. Ackley went on to make dolls as a source of income, and had her own doll shop. Ackley's dolls have been shown in the Wenham Museum and the Children's Museum of Cleveland.
