About the author

Born in 1879 and dying in 1965, she wrote under the name Carlotta C. Greer, with library records giving her full name as Carlotta Cherryholmes Greer.

Her surviving published work shows a clear focus on domestic science and home economics. Catalog and library sources connect her with books including A Textbook of Cooking, School and Home Cooking, Foods and Home Making, and Your Home and You, all aimed at making cooking and household knowledge practical and teachable.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, her bibliography suggests a career devoted to education as much as authorship. The lasting presence of her books in major library collections points to an author whose writing served both students and teachers for many years.
