'''Helen Emily Lowe''' (died 21 March 1882 in Torquay) was a British travel writer. Lowe made travels to Scandinavia and southern Europe together with her mother. Her experiences were published in two books: ''Unprotected Females in Norway, or the Pleasantest Way of Travelling There, Passing through Denmark and Sweden''. 1857, G. Routledge & Co. and ''Unprotected Females in Sicily, Calabria and on the Top of Mount Aetna''. 1859, G. Routledge & Co.
When travelling, Lowe intentionally brought a minimum of luggage. In her first book she writes: “The only use of a gentleman in travelling is to look after the luggage, and we take care to have no luggage.”<ref>{{cite book |last=Robinson |first=Jane |author-link= |date=2001 |title=Unsuitable for Ladies: An Anthology of Women Travellers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JZJCAwAAQBAJ |location= |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=11 |isbn=9780192802019}}</ref> Lowe appears, sometimes as Emily and sometimes as Helen, in several essays and books on women and travelling in the 19th century, such as: *Arcara, Stefania.
