One of my favourite songwriters, and a man I was lucky enough to meet and record a song with years ago when I was a teenager, did a whole album about some of history's less spoken-about famous women.

It's not my favourite record of his (though I still like it) but is full of genuinely interesting stories, like this one.

Following on from that post, a less obscure example that I really like is this one, about Janis Joplin, which I would passionately argue is one of the best songs ever written.
