Madame de (Maria Geertruida van de Werken) Cambon

Maria Geertruida van de Werken, often listed as Madame de Cambon, was a Dutch author active in the mid-18th century. Surviving catalog and bibliography records link her most clearly with instructional and sentimental writing for the young, including Young Grandison and Letters and Conversations Between Several Young Ladies, on Interesting and Improving Subjects.

Her books were translated from Dutch and circulated beyond the Netherlands, which suggests she had a meaningful place in the growing European market for children's and educational literature. One English edition of Young Grandison is noted in bibliographic records as appearing in 1790 with alterations and improvements by Mary Wollstonecraft.
