Auguste Schlüter (27 June 1849 – Autumn 1917) was a German-born domestic servant to the British Gladstone family, and a biographer.
Her posthumously published memoirs were titled A Lady's Maid in Downing Street.
Her life changed when she was seventeen when she was employed in England by the politician and Prime Minister William and Catherine Gladstone.
Schlüter did not speak much English but she decided to keep a diary as she worked as a maid looking after two of her employers' daughters, Mary and Helen Gladstone.
[1] Her diary, written in an exercise book, was discovered after she left Britain and published posthumously in 1922 as A Lady's Maid in Downing Street.
