Caroline Grosvenor
Caroline Susan Theodora Grosvenor CBE (15 June 1858[1] – 7 August 1940), née Stuart-Wortley, was a British novelist and artist.
The daughter of the politician James Stuart-Wortley, she was born in Westminster, London, and married Norman Grosvenor, son of Robert Grosvenor, 1st Baron Ebury, in 1881. He died in 1898.
Grosvenor wrote three novels: The Bands of Orion, The Thornton Device and Laura (with her older brother, Charles Stuart-Wortley, 1st Baron Stuart of Wortley). She was also a well known miniature and watercolour painter. She founded the Colonial Intelligence League for Educated Women, which later amalgamated with the Society for Oversea Settlement of British Women, which was a subsidiary of the Colonial Office.
She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1920 New Year Honours for her services to women's emigration.[2]
