Elisabeth Strickland (1794 - 1875)

Elizabeth Strickland (17 November 1794 – 30 April 1875) was an English biographer. In the early 1830s, Elizabeth and her younger sister Agnes had decided to collaborate on a series of popular history biographies of the queens of England, eventually numbering 12 volumes. Much of the historical research and writing was done by Elizabeth. She, however, refused all publicity and, in an agreement between the two sisters, Agnes was named as the sole author.
