Louise Audino Tilly (December 13, 1930–March 27, 2018) was a pioneer in the study of women, work, and family life in 19th-century Europe. She earned her PhD in 1973 from the University of Toronto. Tilly's dedication to social and women's history opened the study of history to the lives of the common folk, and has paved a pathway for women in the profession. She taught at many history departments across the US and in Europe, and was the recipient of several important fellowships and grants. Tilly was the author of Politics and Class in Milan, 1881-1901 (1992).
