My all time favourite was Nancy Drew. That girl could solve mysteries and stop the bad guys in their tracks.
The Bionic Woman. She was smart, fast and always got the upper hand on the bad guys.
Wonder Woman. I thought her abilities were cool and she hadn't been created by science.
Dana Scully. She put up with Mulder for 9 years and survived things that would have destroyed just about everyone else.
Honey West. She was a private detective with an ocelot for a pet, a smart remark to cover any situation, and she always got her man.
Gagney and Lacey. It proved that 2 women could work together, be friends, be there for one another and solve crimes just like the guys (even better).
Emma Peel. A woman with a gilded tongue, a chic wardrobe and a man who would do anything for her.
Trixie Belden. Very reminiscent of Nancy Drew but fun to read.
Lt. Uhura of the original Star Trek series. She was beautiful and, this was the kicker for me, working and living in outer space and being treated as an equal with the men she served with.
The last 2 are historical not fictional women but worth mentioning: Anne Boleyn and her daughter Elizabeth I. Strong women with strong views. Brilliant for their time and they never surrendered, no matter the cost.
