Enheduanna

Enheduanna lived in the twenty-third century before our era. A daughter of Sargon of Akkad, she was high priestess of the moon god Nanna at Ur. A calcite disc engraved with her name, unearthed at Ur and kept at the University of Pennsylvania museum, presents her as Sargon's daughter. Several Sumerian hymns are attributed to her, which makes her the earliest author known by name; some Assyriologists question this attribution.
