Florence Caddy

Born in Middlesex in 1837, Florence Caddy was an English non-fiction writer who published as Mrs. Florence Caddy. She is especially remembered for Household Organization (1877), a book often noted for helping make household management a widely recognized subject in print.

Her work ranged beyond domestic advice. She also wrote travel and descriptive books, including Through the Fields with Linnaeus and To Siam and Malaya in the Duke of Sutherland's Yacht "Sans Peur", showing an interest in both the natural world and life beyond Britain.

Caddy died on July 9, 1923, at Plymouth. Although not widely known today, her books offer a useful glimpse into Victorian ideas about home life, order, travel, and observation.
