by Sarah Ann Leigh
Sarah Ann Leigh was an early 20th-century practical writer, identified in library records as born in 1869. She is known for Lace Curtain Cleaning: A Successful Home Business, a short how-to book preserved by Project Gutenberg.
The book presents itself as advice drawn from personal experience and focuses on building a small home-based business. It reflects a hands-on, encouraging style, with an emphasis on thrift, steady effort, and the idea that useful domestic skills could become a source of income.
Very little confirmed biographical information appears to be widely available beyond her birth year and authorship of this work, so her published writing remains the clearest window into her life and interests.
