Born in 1770 in Sheffield, she gained recognition for her prolific work, which included around 66 stories, schoolbooks, and poetry.

In addition to her literary contributions, she was commissioned by the famous architect John Soane to write a description of his museum in London s Lincoln s Inn Fields, which is still extant today. Her works aimed at fostering positive values and ethical behavior in young readers, and she was one of the key figures contributing to the development of educational literature in her time.
