Edith B. Ordway

Edith B. Ordway was an American writer and compiler of practical reference books in the early twentieth century, published in New York. Her works include The Etiquette of To-Day, a Handbook of Quotations and Synonyms and Antonyms (1913), an alphabetical list of more than five thousand words in common use, each grouped with others of similar and opposite meaning, designed for students, writers and anyone wishing to vary their vocabulary. Compact and practical, her books were aimed at readers who wanted quick and reliable guidance on language and manners.
