Bertha M. Wilson (pen name, B. M. Wilson; August 14, 1874 – 1936) was an American dramatist, critic, and dramatic actress, who earned a reputation throughout the Central United States. She leased some of her monologues, sketches, drills, and plays to educators and professionals. Her own work was of three kinds: home talent entertainments, including original drills, tableaux, and pantomimes; plays and farces; and costume monologues for platform and stage. Wilson's Book of Drills and Marches for Young People and Small Children was published in 1895.
