Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott was the person who wrote a classic novel known as Little Women. When she chose to stay single, it caused a controversy. Back then, everything was very conservative. After a visit to a married friend, she said that even though she found her pal’s “nest” to be “very sweet and pretty, but I’d rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe.”

Condoleezza Rice
It looks like there are a lot of successful and independent women deciding to forego marriage! This policymaker is one of them. From 2005 until 2009, Condoleezza Rice served as the US Secretary of State. Even though she was once engaged to NFL player Rick Upchurch, she is still a single woman to this day.
