While not helpful in this particular instance, this website gives access to a lot of books that are out of print with copyright expired: https://www.gutenberg.org

So if there are Victorian-era books or autobiographies you’re looking for, you’ll likely find it here for free. Muriel Gardiner’s book unfortunately might need a decade or three before the copyright is expired. (Timing depends on country of the author. Usually 70ish years after death of author.)

Alas, still under copyright in the US until 2035, since she died in 1985.

There are a couple of copies in the area, but they’re in places like the Library of Congress or university libraries an hour away, so they’re not very accessible.
