[Here’s an article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/queens-gambit-true-story-beth-harmon-chess_n_615b06d4e4b05040d1dd91) about a real-life female chess player whose life bore many similarities to Elizabeth Harmon’s. I found it in the “[Chess is Gendered?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chess-is-gendered/951763)” thread.
