Hardy was the daughter of a doctor and grand-daughter of a minister at St. Giles' Cathedral.[1]
Career and Worksedit
Hardy's fiction draws on the experiences she gained whilst working as a missionary in the Grassmarket slums, described as 'brutally realistic'. Her work has also been linked to the Scottish kailyard school and the popular fiction of Annie S. Swan.[2] Furthermore, she became a contributor and sub-editor for the Morning Rays, a Church of Scotland magazine for children, with much of her children's literature subsequently being published separately.[3] Other work includes her time as a cookery teacher at Dr. William Robertson's Vennel School for girls.[1]
