About the author

Charlotte M. Gibbs, also listed as Charlotte Mitchell Gibbs, was an American writer born in 1885 and died in 1961. The sources available here identify her mainly through her books on textiles and home economics rather than through extensive biographical records.

Her best-known works include Household Textiles and Some Points in Choosing Textiles. These books explain fibers, fabrics, quality, and practical selection in a straightforward way, suggesting she wrote for consumers and students who wanted reliable, usable knowledge rather than technical jargon.

Project Gutenberg and library catalogs preserve her work today, and that continued availability points to her lasting value as a clear guide to everyday materials and domestic life in the early twentieth century.
