Writing under the name Frances Little, Fannie Caldwell was an American author born on November 22, 1863, and she is best remembered today for fiction and travel-inspired storytelling linked to Japan.
Her best-known book, The Lady of the Decoration (1906), was based on her experiences in Hiroshima in the early 1900s. The novel found a wide audience, and she went on to publish other works including The Lady and Sada San, Little Sister Snow, and The House of the Misty Star.
She was associated with Louisville, Kentucky, and died on January 6, 1941. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
