Florence Caddy (1837–1923) was an English non-fiction writer from Middlesex. She wrote the first book on household management to become well known.

Family

She was born in Middlesex (now part of London) in 1837, as Florence Tompson. She married John Turner Caddy in 1857 at Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury in London and had five children: John Francis in 1857, Florence in 1863, Arnold in 1866, Hermione Helena in 1869 and Adrian in 1879. Her husband died in 1902 and she died in 1923 in Plymouth.

Works

Caddy's 1877 Household Organization covers most aspects of housekeeping in its 84 pages.[1]

Her 1886 book on Joan of Arc was described in a review in The Spectator as "eminently readable". However, the reviewer notes that she "does not belong to the sceptical school of historians. Believing Jeanne to have been a divinely inspired heroine, she casts no doubt on the reality of her voices and visions."[2]
