Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo was a strong-willed woman who decided to go against the tide. She stayed unmarried even though it was the norm to tie the knot. She got involved in several affairs but never accepted a proposal. She once said, “There are some who want to get married and others who don’t. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead.” What an icon!
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was the predecessor of writers in the ‘chick lit’ genre! Even though her books always came with passionate romances, the author did not seem to be interested in sparing men her time. There was a time when she was engaged, but it did not even last an entire day! She was more devoted to her art.
