Victorian Aventuresses

"she seems indeed to be on a very different level" [SCAN]    There is one woman in the entire Canon of Sherlock Holmes stories that we can instantly recall as an adventuress. You know who we're talking about.   Can you think of at least one other off the top of your head? We'll help with that. Plus, we'll explore just how the term "adventuress" evolved and what it meant in polite society. It's just a Trifle.   Do you have a topic you'd like to recommend?
