Helen Harder aka Eleanor F. Suggs (1918 – 1984) was a flight instructor in the Women's Army Corps (WACS) in World War II. She later worked in a variety of fields including private industry, sales, civil service and education. Harder was interested in spirituality and wrote a number of small essays on the subject. She helped organize a National Organization for Women (NOW) chapter in rural Nevada in the early 1980s.
