Beruriah
On Avodah Zarah 18b is found one of the Talmudic sources that discusses Beruriah, who in some places is described as the wife of Rabbi Meir. There have been a number of important articles written about the Beruriah traditions in Rabbinic Literature. Two places to look are this article by Tal Ilan and this one by Tzvee Zahavy. Tzvee’s article includes translations of the sources.
