Warrior Women - Name hunt

[Loser]

Greetings and salu-somethings from a lurker.

How can one mention Heinlein, chauvanist that he is, in the context of strong female rolls and not mention Friday? Just about every one of his books has a female character, most of whom could be said to be 'strong' (an arguement could be made, anyway), mostly because he only had three characters, and this female character was one of them.

The Black Window's name was Natasha Kerensky, though Black Widow would probably do well on it's own.

Elvira's name was Cassandra Petersen (I believe), if anyone cares.

Petra Arkanian from Orsen Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' and a couple of following books?

Machiko Noguchi (or Dahdtoudi), of the Dark Horse comics Alien vs. Predator series?

Edit: Now I have pants, I love it when that happens.
Edit: In other news, I cannot spell.
