Kate V. (Kate Vandenhoff) Saint Maur

Kate V. Saint Maur, also cataloged as Kate Vandenoff Saint-Maur, Mrs., 1866-, was an American author best known for practical books about homemaking, gardening, and rural self-reliance. Library and archive records connect her with works including Making Home Profitable (1902), A Self-Supporting Home (1905), and The Earth's Bounty.

Her writing focused on making the home more productive in everyday ways: raising food, managing household resources, and treating domestic work as skilled, useful labor. The surviving records available here point more clearly to her publications than to her personal life, so many biographical details remain hard to confirm.

Today, she is mainly remembered through these books, which still appeal to readers interested in homesteading, thrift, and older traditions of self-sufficient living.
