Sarah "Sallie" de Saussure Taylor Rhett Roman (1844–1921) was an American journalist and writer. Born into Southern aristocracy as the daughter of South Carolina congressman Robert Barnwell Rhett, she started a writing career to support her family after the death of her husband. Her writing focused on nostalgia for the Lost Cause and glorification of the plantation system. She was a contributor to the New Orleans Times-Democrat newspaper for nearly three decades.
