Notes ESTC Notes:
"An unauthorized work based on [Hannah Wooley's] books and adorned by a spurious portrait and unreliable biographical information was published in 1673 as The Gentlewomans Companion, and similar works followed in 1675 (The Accomplished Ladies Delight) and 1685 [sic] (The Compleat Servant-Maid). Like her authentic works, these were reprinted frequently." -- Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
