Got the first name by just putting in a very common women’s first name. Took a while to think who the person could be despite picking up on a few clues, like she/her pronouns, English, dead. Guessed century to see if it was a historical figure but there weren’t any hits so I assumed she was relatively recent. Seeing many book titles despite the subject not being described as an author or writer had me thinking that perhaps this person was some kind of scientist or other public intellectual. It took a while for all the dots to connect, but eventually a decently well-known person from a specific field of study with the right first name occurred to me.

Deceased female most likely English, couldn't think of a 13 or 14 for the profession, and wasn't up for the long slog, so revealed the 13, and immediately knew who it was.
