Proposed merge
Strong support - Steevens is notable in her own right, with an entry in the
Dictionary of Irish Biography. It is fitting that she has her own article, with content from
Pig-faced women merged into this article.

Strong oppose, as the author, assuming you actually mean "split" not "merge". She's notble in her own right, but that doesn't mean she's not also a key part of the PFW mythos. Removing the section about her from the main PFW article just because she has a stand-alone biography—which I think is what you're proposing—would be unhelpfulness-for-the-sake-of-unhelpfulness. Summary style exists to stop articles becoming too long, it doesn't mean removing content from the parent article when a sub-page exists. All this would do would introduce unnecessary bias to the parent article, since the myth in England would be covered in full but in Ireland by a "see also" link. ‑
