G+.** "Fanny Louisa Calder (1838-1923) was a pioneer of domestic science and was responsible for the Fanny Calder School of Domestic Science.She began running classes in 1874, which led to her eventually establishing her school based in St. Georges Hall in Liverpool. Her aim was to improve the diets and lifestyles of the people of Liverpool by teaching them how to cook and clean and look after themselves. With her progress in Liverpool, Fanny L. Calder wanted to promote women s education throughout the UK and so worked with similar institutions in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Yorkshire, resulting in the 1876 formation of the Northern Union of Training Schools of Cookery. The women s education movement founded its first national organisation in 1897, in which F.L. Calder played a fundamental role, the Association of Teachers of Domestic Science. Throughout her life F.L. Calder wrote numerous articles and letters about her mission of bringing domestic science into the education system whilst also promoting the distribution of affordable cookery books produced at the school. She also co-authored with the head teacher at the cookery school, E.E. Mann, the first laundry work teaching manual, A Teachers Manual of Elementary Laundry Work published in 1891. Fanny L. Calder also wrote a number of recipes herself, the most well-known being her War Cake recipe her original hand written copy of which is currently held in the Liverpool John Moores Universities Archives."
