Sure you can. I trained a woman in a Beech Baron from zero time to her
PPL back in the 60's. Her husband had chartered me a couple times and
one day asked if I could teach his wife to fly the Baron. I told him
probably if she had a normal aptitude. So, he bought her one as a
surprise birthday present and hired me to train her. She did fine and
he still chartered me from time to time...in her airplane of course!!!
I trained a number of Japanese pilots in Piper Aztecs in the late 60's
and they were all very low time or zero when they started. Not a big
deal if you can afford it.

This is the second example I have heard of a woman doing her entire PPL in a
Baron. The first example was from a flight school near Edmonton, Alberta.
IIRC her family owned the aircraft and it would be what she would be mainly
flying after training so it made sense to do her training in it. The
instructor said she did very well and took only a little longer to complete.
