I would also add "Friday" in "Friday" in 1984 by Robert Heinlein.
 
And I would add "Hazel Meade" later "Hazel Stone" in "The Moon Is A
Harsh Mistress" in 1966 and "The Rolling Stones" in 1952 by Robert
Heinlein.  Also "Wyoming "Wyoh" Knott-Davis".

The problem is that all of these characters are really the same person
in different situations with different names.  All of Heinlein's women
are pretty much the same, whether they are old, young, human, alien, or
computers.

He does tend to like competent women, doesn't he?  How about Cynthia,
in "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag"?  I would call her
different.
