    All authors are products of their time but results vary wildly.

    I may have read "Federation" by H. Beam Piper.

    I would add "Candy Smith-Foster" in "Emergence" in 1984 by David Palmer
    to this list.

    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.-a Also "Wyoming "Wyoh" Knott-Davis".

    Heinlein has several formidable female characters in his books. In "The
    Star Beast", he has Betty and Lummox (alien space princess).
