Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott is the author behind the famous novel, Little Women. This iconic writer’s choice to remain single until she died has caused a stir in her then-conservative society. After visiting her married friend, she was quoted to have said that her friend’s “nest” was “very sweet and pretty, but I’d rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe.”

Condoleezza Rice
It appears that the number of successful and strong-willed women who choose not to marry is rising. One perfect example is Condoleezza Rice. This famous policy maker was the US Secretary of State from 2005 to 2009. Although she was engaged for a short time to Rick Upchurch, an NFL player, she hasn’t been married yet.
