Obviously there are more; I just wanted to put these two in a list before I forgot.
1. Jane Digby: "An English aristocrat who lived a scandalous life of romantic adventure." According to another source, she tried to buy a supposedly unbreakable horse from a sheik. After she broke the horse, he told her he wouldn't accept cash; she replied that she would marry him, but only on the condition that he leave all his other wives. They would remain married for three years, and then renew the agreement should it prove agreeable.
2. Emmy Noether: She was such a brillian mathematician that Gauss himself personally requested that she study with him...
