Agnes Strickland est la fille de Thomas Strickland et d'Elizabeth Homer. Originaire de Reydon Hall, dans le Suffolk, Agnes et sa soeur aînée, Elizabeth, sont éduquées suivant les standards masculins, par leur père. Elle a pour frères et soeurs (outre Elizabeth) Sarah, Jane Margaret Strickland (en), Catharine Parr Traill, Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) et Samuel Strickland. Tous les enfants, exceptée Sarah, sont écrivains. Elle commence sa carrière littéraire par un poème, Worcester Field, suivi par The Seven Ages of Woman et de Demetrius. Elle abandonne ensuite la poésie, et écrit Historical Tales of Illustrious British Children (1833), The Pilgrims of Walsingham (1835) and Tales and Stories from History (1836). Ses ouvrages les plus connus sont Lives of the Queens of England from the Norman Conquest, and Lives of the Queens of Scotland, and English Princesses, etc. (8 vols. , 1850-1859), Lives of the Bachelor Kings of England (1861), et Letters of Mary Queen of Scots, ouvrages d'histoire anglaise. Elle est aidée par sa soeur Elizabeth. Ses recherches sont consciencieuses, et elle reste une source utile, bien que l'écriture soit très datée dans le style de ce type de production victorienne.
