The answer Yes to 6 is more of a negative no than a positive yes.

Huh? But "she primarily achieve[d] fame as" something on that list.

Yes using broad definitions.

I am going to assume this comes down to broad definitions of "entertainer".

I would not normally consider a writer to qualify for a broad definition of "entertainer," but I'm thinking someone like Oscar Wilde (who is Irish, so not the answer here) might be correct.

6 questions left, but I think halving the potential time span is a good idea.

Born before 1910?

Uh, I'm pretty sure Oscar Wilde was male.

Depends what type of writer. An academic/philosopher/political pamphleer would probably not qualify as an entertainer but a poet/playwright/novelist/comedic journalist would.

Yes, born before 1910.

Yes, I am just trying to generate ideas for why this person might have been known, since that's the area we have the vaguest information on at the moment. That he was Irish just came to mind before the more obvious gender constraint.
