Neat essay - thanks. Really got me thinking...here are a few formidable female characters that come to mind:
L’Engle - A Wrinkle in Time 1962 (Meg Murry)
Herbert - Dune 1965 (Chani, maybe others)
McCaffrey - Dragonflight 1968 (Lessa)
McKillip - The Forgotten Beasts of Eld 1974 (Sybel)
Hambly - The Time of the Dark 1982 (Gil Patterson)
McKinley - The Blue Sword 1982 (Angharad “Harry” Crewe)
and The Hero and the Crown 1984 (Aerin)
Cook - Black Company 1984 (The Lady - and Soulcatcher too, now that I think about it)
Bujold - Shards of Honor 1986 (Cordelia Naismith)
Scott - Silence Leigh (trilogy released 1985-7)
Lee & Miller - Agent of Change 1988 (Miri Robertson)
Moon - The Deed of Paksenarrion (1988-9) (Paksenarrion, aka Paks)
Tony
I did not realize Shards Of Honor was that old. Cordelia's Shopping trip !
