well Captain Carter is one of our heroes as well, one of the main reasons we watched the show,darcy and I. (Jenny, being the noob; is still catching up.)
We also like Susan Ivanova of Bab 5. Now there is a strong women.
In real life, darcy has quite a few actresses, and writers. but she has recently found a group of women that may soon out do them all. Have a look:
