Is she a good example though? It seems that she was probably literally the best educated female
in the world at that time and probably had a genius level IQ, and yet she still was attracted to dirtbags, was a flighty hormone-driven nutcase etc. Good for her, but if she didn't defer to competent male advisers she wasn't attracted to, it would have been a disaster, despite her qualities. It was lucky it wasn't a disaster anyway.
