Greta Garbo
Here we have a true rebel whose self-assurance could not be dented by any underhanded remark regarding her ringless fingers. Greta Garbo never showed any interest in marriage, which was quite controversial during the stuffier period that she lived in. Love affairs she had plenty, but none of these handsome cads managed to convince her that they were worth sealing the deal with. Greta famously stated that she was not the type of person to get married, and that she was unrulable.

Jane Austen
While Jane Austen’s works may be regarded as the foundations for female-centric literature, she is also one of the greatest writers in the English language. Despite how concerned her novels were with sweeping romances, Austen was rarely interested in the behavior herself. The author would become engaged during her life, however, but would later decide that it was not worth her time. Writing was her true partner, one that kept her satisfied for a lifetime.
