Catherine Mary Buckton (née Williams, 1826-1904) was a British campaigner and writer. She was based in Leeds, UK, and strongly believed in the education of women, and promoted hygienic practices.[1]
Catherine Buckton was born in Stoke Newington and was one of nine children. Her father was a surgeon specialising in the treatment of cholera and a pioneer of public health reform.[2] She married Joseph Buckton, a successful cloth merchant in 1848. Buckton became the first woman in Leeds to hold elected public office when she became a member of the Leeds School Board in 1873.[3]
She wrote a number of books: 'Health in the House, 25 Lectures on Elementary Physiology In It's Application To The Daily Wants of Man and Animals Delivered To The Wives and Children of Working-Men in Leeds and Saltaire' (1876 [4]), 'Food and Home Cookery', 'Our Dwellings, Healthy and Unhealthy' (1885 [5][6]), 'Town and Window Gardening, Including the Structures, Habits And Uses Of Plants, A Course Of 16 Lectures' (1879[7]), and 'Comfort and Cleanliness (1894 [8])' [1]
