Could you put a date on that?
I would go for mid to late '90-es.

One was the Stroustrup which was a specification.
I've used the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual) by Stroustoup and Ellis. Btw, if the woman you are talking about is Margret Ellis, she is very effective author. The number of manuals was smaller but their quality was much better (me thinks). That depends also on the style of documentation you like. Me, I'm a fan of dry, terse and complete manuals.

However the 90s was when libraries for C/C++ started to become available. But Stroustrup was documenting the language and nothing else. And the Ellis book (80s) did the same but more on using it rather than what it was. So as I already mentioned in the 90s of the many libraries I used I found only one that had good documentation. There were more good books published in the 90s (Meyers and Ellis) but those were still on using C++. So they expanded what what already there but the additional stuff was not documented.
