Looking for help

from all my well read and clever readers. :)
I'm going to be playing in a Victorian-era Legion of Extraordinary Gentlemen-type role play game. I'm looking for a female literary character set in the mid to late 1800's to play. This is not an area that I have any expertise in at all and I'm coming up blank. We're supposed to each come up with several ideas and then we'll pick the best ones to play. I'm looking for an adventuress type of character. The only one that I've considered is Jane, Lady Greystoke, who apparently, after being merely a damsel in distress, becomes an adventurer on her own.
Andy suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
