Huh... Not a poet, not a fiction writer, not a journalist?
But known for her written work...?
I suppose that leaves behind... Biography? And maybe there's a different way to read that... are there any history nerds here who know of any dead ladies who are famous mostly for all the letters they left behind when they died? Someone who had a lot of work that wasnt meant to be published could be what's going on here

OR!!! It's a scientist/academic. That might be the better approach, though unsure if they are as well known for written work- philosophy sure, but scientist maybe not? And I can't think of any well known female philosophers from England, but sure they exist somewhere

1. Real dead
2. didn't die in the last 100 years
3. not owned a stone named Peni
4. Never been a citizen to the USA&Canada region
5. married (to at least one man, I suppose?)
6. aristocratic title (but meaning for governing power is confusing)
7. Alive after 01.02.1600
8. native english speaker
9. known for her written work
10. didn't publish under pen name
11. not mainly poetry
12. from the british isles
13. her husband DIDN'T have knighthood (but was aristocratic)
14. her written work was VERY MUCH NOT fiction
15. she wasn't a journalist
Not Jane Austen
Not Hilary Mantel
The answer for question 14 makes me tend to think that it has something to do with a scientific book, but I don't want to waste a question on that hunch. It could also be just a recipe list for a cook book or written law and that's not scientific, right?
I still think the best question now would be about the timeframe to find out when she lived and since no one did after my last post I guess my question would be as good as any other, so I try to ask a good one:
Did she die on 01.01.1810 or before?
(I think with this question we can narrow the frame best, I thought about the question "Was she alive in or before 01.01.1790 ?" but that would leave too much wiggle room inbetween, I think. Now we should have a timeframe from [before]1600-1809 or 1810-1921 [with that being her year of death])

Scientists publish lots of things. Academic articles, books. Einstein published 272 articles and authored 16 scientific textbooks, for example.Doom427 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 5:04 amOR!!!
