About the author

Born in 1860 and dying in 1932, she was an English author closely associated with the Salvation Army. Sources available here describe her as a Salvation Army officer who reached the rank of Colonel, worked in London's slum districts, and became known as a prominent Salvation Army writer.

Her books include Catherine Booth — a Sketch and, with Noel Hope, The Bible in Its Making. She also wrote other Bible-based historical works for younger and general readers, showing a talent for explaining religious subjects in an accessible, story-shaped way.

A local Salvation Army history for North Walsham notes that her childhood home later became known as Mildred Duff House, which hints at the regard in which she was remembered. I couldn't confidently confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I found, so no profile image is included.
