Sir John Gibson (1841–1915) was a journalist who spent most of his career at Aberystwyth as editor of the Cambrian News.
His book, The Emancipation of Women, dealt particularly with Wales.
Gibson was born in Lancaster on 14 February 1841, the son of a hatter named John Gibson.
His mother, Dorothy Gradwell, had worked in a cotton mill before her marriage and appears to have returned to the mills after the death of her husband, another John Gibson.
