Irene Adler, 'The Woman,' was a character in 'A Scandal in Bohemia,' the only woman to ever outsmart the great detective.
She was very beautiful singer, who had once been in a relationship with the king of Bohemia (or something like that). She had in her posession a photo depicting the two together, which was disturbing now that the king intended to marry another woman. He asked Sherlock to retrieve the photograph.
Irene wasn't fooled by Sherlock's tricks (he even staged a fire alarm) but in the end married someone else and left a message, promising to keep the incriminating photo hidden. She also left behind a photo of herself, which Sherlock kept in his files.
