Susan Coolidge was the pseudonym of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey. She was born into a wealthy family in 1835 in Ohio, USA, but spent much of her childhood in Connecticut and worked as a nurse during the American Civil War. She is most famous for the What Katy Did series, which was groundbreaking for its depiction of high-spirited, mischievous – and realistic – children. The fictional Carr family are based on Susan and her siblings.
