Yes, it's incorrect. You should use "her".

It should be HER, because when you say Herself it indicates as an object of a verb or preposition to refer to a feminine being THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED. You can otherwise say "When MARGARET MITCHELL had a severe ankle injury SHE forced Herself to give up reporting in 1926."or "When a severe ankle injury forced HER to give up reporting in 1926, Margaret Mitchell"
