Louise Boyd Dale (March 30, 1913 – December 15, 1967) was a philatelist and the daughter of fellow philatelist Alfred F. Lichtenstein.
Born in New York City, she was raised as a stamp collector from an early age in the environment of her father’s rare collections and numerous prominent philatelic friends, she herself became a highly-regarded collector of stamps and a recognized figure in the field of philately.
Serious philatelic research and collecting, up to the early 20th century, was generally regarded as a field for "men only" to enjoy, and Louise Dale was prominent in breaking this cultural mold, and establishing women in the ranks of philately. She became a "first woman" in a number of positions previously held only by men.

That tills the sand and sawis in the air;

That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
And follows on a woman thro the fire,
Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.”
