Her subjects included the educationalist Mary Carpenter in Bristol, the activist for women's rights in India Pandita Ramabai, Sister Dora Pattison who had created hospitals in Walsall.
Closer to home she wrote about her niece Emily Sturge and her friend the Quaker minister Ann Hunt.
The book was titled Types of Quaker Womanhood and it was published by the Friends' Tract Association.
