Oh, thank you! Agnes Strickland definitely beats Mrs. Gaskell to being the first female biographer of a female subject, then.

I'm also going to myself, 'surely the Bluestockings must have written about each other?' but maybe that was more along the lines of 'My reminiscences of Mrs Montagu', though I have a vague recollection that at least some of them had posthumous publications of their letters (probably expurgated of malicious gossip and heavy on the big thinkery). Don't have my Bluestocking sources to hand at the moment.

That makes sense. And surely some of the collected letters had biographical commentary.
