Florence Hartley was a writer in the Victorian era. Her books were written for women and talked about things like manners and needlework. She also worked to improve the health of women. Florence Hartley was single all her life and she supported women a lot. Hartley's main reason for supporting women's education is that it helps them be better friends. But she also thought that women should learn about different things for their own enjoyment. Donawerth says that Hartley's manners are based on a very conservative view of the world that is based on wealth and social class. Hartley herself thinks that her manners are a natural extension of Christian ethics, especially the Golden Rule. Hartley also put a lot of thought into the proper way to write a letter.
