I found this interesting, which could could be entered in personal. She was also winner of the Grand Prix Automobile Club Féminin de France, Paris-Rome, 1932. Sotheby's sold her inscribed trophy 6th December 2002, and authenticated that it was her in their catalogue:

"This trophy was won by Yvonne Desportes (1907-93), French composer, pianist and lecturer; the same year as this race she won the Prix de Rome for music, and lived in that city until 1937."
