More generally, this goes back at least 200 years (ie, to the 19th

200 years ago would be 1824 which was dominated by 1789-1815 (e.g. the
Napoleonic wars) and relatively quiet at least till Prussia's wars
1864-1871.

So, you are saying there were /no female writers using male
pseudonyms/ in 1824? Or before?

George Sand has entered the chat.

 Oh great! Another 18th Century French Author I should probably read,
as I probably will Verne (at least I can count him as an SF author!).
I will make a note. But I may take a break with something else first.
Perhaps the Well of Souls series.
 Note: I recall hearing about George Sand, and may even have heard that
she was a woman, but she was not in my mind when I made my assertion
above.

Not only did she use a male name, she wore men's clothes (which
required a license). I have no knowledge of her preferences in
partners, or her (modern usage) 'gender'.
