Gladys West would be closest to fitting that mold.
My "guess" would be Sau Lan Wu for her contributions to the standard model of particle physics.
Dark Horse would be Hedy Lamarr.

Ditto. First woman to receive a Nobel Prize. One of the few scientists to receive two Nobel Prizes, one in Physics and one in Chemistry.

The interior decorator who did my house. She liked totally different colors and tones than I did, but after she spent a little time with me and looked at some stuff I liked on the internet, she came back with: this is what you want, showed me flooring and paint and granite and tile. She was right, and she knew more about what I liked than I did.
Smart isn't linear. You don't check it with a dip stick. A dipstick only tells you how deep something is at one point, whereas intelligence is about volume: area and depth. A dipstick can't check that.

also noted for adding to the popular idiom a certain term she invented on the spot:
quote:
While working on the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947, her team encountered a malfunction caused by a moth that had gotten trapped inside a relay. They carefully removed the insect and taped it into the logbook with the note “First actual case of bug being found.” Although the term “bug” had been used before to describe mechanical glitches, Hopper’s humorous documentation of the incident helped cement “debugging” as a standard term for identifying and fixing problems in computer programs.

I figured she would appeal to tOT. While she probably isn't in the top 1000 in raw intelligence like the Ask Marilyn woman she did some pretty interesting stuff in WWII with torpedoes. She is in the inventors HOF or whatever it is called.

More men are distributed on the extremes/margins on the bottom and top of the intelligence scale. More women are in the middle of the intelligence bell curve and less on the margins.

Muriel Y. Ishikawa. During her 18 years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Dr. Ishikawa was a project and program leader of new-concept technical innovative projects, which resulted in issued patents in novel explosives, laser technology and applied nuclear chemistry.
Muriel Y. Ishikawa is recognized as one of the most prolific female inventors, having been named on over 795 US granted patents.
This women holds the current record for most patents and most were involved in the areas of defense, explosives and laser technology......
Nice!

I always thought it was the woman who had answered questions in the Parade magazine that came with the Sunday paper.
Edit: I see someone already posted her name. Marilyn vos Savant
I remember she had 1000’s of college professors and PhDs arguing with her on her Monty Hall question/answer.
quote:
Imagine you are on a game show. There are three doors: behind one is a car, and behind the other two are goats. You pick a door, say #1. The host (Monty Hall), who knows what is behind the doors, opens another door (say #3), which he knows has a goat. He then asks: "Do you want to switch to door #2?" Is it to your advantage to switch? Her Answer: "Yes; you should switch." She stated that the original door has a 1/3 chance of winning, but the remaining door has a 2/3 chance.

If she smokes, she pokes (holes in keypunch cards).

I may need to ask this question on Reddit for better responses.

The lady who used to have a column in Parade magazine. She put her smarts to good use.
