Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo was best known as a strong-willed woman who defied the societal norms of her time. In those days, unmarried women were not treated too kindly. She entered her fair share of romances, though she never once accepted a marriage proposal. Here was what she said about it: “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.”
Jane Austen
We all love Jane Austen because her works remain relevant to this day! She might have been the first author to have mastered the subgenre we call ‘chick lit’. It is true that many of her heroines are concerned with their love affairs, though the author was probably too busy to dabble in such things herself. She was once engaged, although it did not last longer than several hours after a sudden change of heart. After that, she devoted her time to her craft instead.
