Hannah Woolley

Hannah Woolley, as depicted on the frontispiece of ''The Gentlewoman's Companion; or, a Guide to the Female Sex'', published 1673. Since this was an unauthorised publication of her work the likeness is questionable. Hannah Woolley, sometimes spelled Wolley (c.1622 – in or after 1675), was an English writer who published early books on household management; she was probably the first person to earn a living doing this.

She variously worked as a servant, and as a grammar school teacher. Her husband was a schoolmaster. The couple first opened their own school in Newport, then a second school in Hackney. Following her husband's death, she became a professional writer. She also earned a reputation as a successful physician, despite her amateur status. Provided by Wikipedia
