Evelyne Webb Bowdich (née George; 1861–1930), who wrote under the name Mrs. Bowdich, was an English writer and inventor. She contributed articles to the child rearing journal Baby: The Mother's Magazine, which formed the basis for her book, Confidential Chats with Mothers: On the Healthy Rearing of Children (1890). She also authored a vegetarian cookbook, New Vegetarian Dishes (1892). In addition, she filed two patents: a "drop receiver" (1890) to catch drips from siphon spouts and a "drip arrester" (1914) to prevent unwanted drips.
