This isn’t a full length article however I think it brings up an interesting point thats worth discussing about Lou Andreas-Salome as a feminist, stating that she was “the wrong type of feminist, the wrong kind of novelist”, since her contributions to feminism, literature, psychoanalysis, etc are often overshadowed by her relations with male intellectuals at the time (Nietzsche, Freud, Rilke, etc.) I think a central question to Salome is whether we can discuss her life/works without constantly tying her back to these male intellectuals, and if it’s possible to analyze her works independently of these men or if this exchange of ideas was an essential part of her career. And if we do chose to constantly relate her back to these male figures, is that the result of our sexist perspectives on females and their contributions in history? I just think thats something worth thinking about.
German Women Writers 
As having read the articles, maybe removing some information from the biography would help in making your FIP more concise. Perhaps do not fail to mention the psychoanalysts that she learnt from and the ones who inspired her writing the most. Also mention how these text bring upon the subject of treating nudity as a sexual act. Also mention that her view was to perhaps rise awareness to women through sending out the subliminal messages in her texts due to the fact that no one could really identify her as a woman writer at the time.
Perhaps this article will help you further explore her relationships with the psychoanalysts and what elements influenced her writing style the most.

First, I like that your underlying of other types of feminist and what might be considered a right or wrong one. Still, I’d suggest to discuss Salomé’s personal life has briefly as possible and maybe look further into the historical and political context of the time as well as the ideologies (Germany’s unification process, the Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine, etc..). Also, I’d strongly suggest to link feminist aspects of the book with other fields and disciplines like philosophy, psychoanalysis, linguistics. A book I would recommend is “Feminism and Psychoanalytic Theory” by Nancy J. Chodorow which to me is related to Butler’s work about gender as a performance. Essentially it discusses how awareness of self and gender we develop from earliest infancy continues to shape both our experience as men and women. It claims that this awareness leads to the patterns of inequality and difference that exist throughout our society and culture. I provided the link below which contains further description about the book: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300051162/feminism-and-psychoanalytic-theory
