Elizabeth "Lisbeth" Anne Maud McCracken (c. 1871 – 1944), was a women's suffragist and—under her maiden name L.A.M. Priestley—a feminist writer, active in the north of Ireland. Although unionist herself, with other members of the Belfast Irish Women's Suffrage Society she joined the Women's Social and Political Union in declaring a direct-action campaign against Ulster Unionists for their refusal in 1914 to honour a votes-for-women pledge. After the First World War and the achievement of the vote, she continued in what was now Northern Ireland to campaign on issues of domestic violence and sex discrimination.
She is sometimes confused in bibliographies with her contemporary, the American feminist writer, Elizabeth McCracken (1876-1964), author of The Women of America (1904).
