About the author

Born in 1794, Elisabeth Strickland was an English author from the same literary family as Agnes Strickland. Reliable sources found here mainly describe her through that collaboration, rather than as a widely documented standalone public figure.

She is especially remembered for working with Agnes on historical and biographical writing, including books about queens and princesses. Those works were noted for focusing on domestic life and women’s experiences in a way that many earlier historians had overlooked.

Because detailed biographical records for Elisabeth herself were limited in the sources available, much of her public legacy survives through the Strickland sisters’ shared contribution to popular historical biography in the 19th century.
