About the authors
Mary Forman Ledyard
b. 1867
An educator as well as a writer, she brought a teacher’s eye for language and culture to her books. Her best-known work, Seven Maids of Far Cathay, reflects an early-20th-century American interest in China and women’s education.

A little-known early 20th-century writer, best remembered for a single unusual collaboration that turns classroom exercises into a literary curiosity. Her surviving record is sparse, which gives the book an air of mystery as well as historical charm.
