Elizabeth Mallet is said by this entry to have been born in 1672. Her husband, father of her child, is said to have died in 1683. That is to say, she was 11-year-old when widowed. Highly unlikely, even in an age when child marriage was all the rage. I have found no alternative sources, but this entry need be flagged for patent inaccuracies.

I added the {{ floruit}} template to the article shortly after OP's post, as recommended at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Birth date and place, which has hopefully resolved the confusion. Boldly collapsing the above thread as it's off-topic from improving the article. If you wish to continue discussing the behaviour of the thread participants, there are other venues for that. the wub "?!" 21:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
I would like to extend this page with information about Mallet's involvement in the trade of 'last dying speeches' and how her business may have been the foundation of Fleet St as a newspaper centre. I will take the info from: Ezell, M. (2014). Dying to be Read: Gallows Authorship in Late Seventeenth-Century England. Authorship, 3(1). Maxted, I. (2004, September 23). Mallet, Elizabeth (fl. 1672–1706), printer and bookseller. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Wilson, C. Edward. “The First First Daily Newspaper in English.” Journalism Quarterly 58, no. 2 (June 1, 1981): 286–88 Andhobbs ( talk) 10:51, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
The current article is too short, and although it includes the most important info, it would benefit from more info on Mallet’s previous publications, the location of her business and some context about women in journalism, printing and publishing. The invention of daily news is also significant, as many historians believe that frequently updated news changed people’s understandings of time. I will add links to "Fleet Street", rephrase "sensational tracts" to add a sentence or 2 about her "last dying speech" work, with possible links, and possibly add a link to a relevant Wikipedia page on women in journalism.
