a passage in Poul Anderson's A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows where Kossara Vymezal, on vacation from the Schola and on furlough from her ground defense unit in the Narodna Vokska, hunts in the Kazan with her family's zmay (Merseian by species) gamekeeper, Trohdwyr, and kills a charging dyavo with her rifle;
SM Stirling's Daggers In Darkness about the intrepid secret agents, Luz O'Malley and Ciara Whelan;
Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy about Lisbeth Salander - although I also like a long list of Larsson's male characters, including the real life Paulo Roberto;
Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, well known for its many strong female characters, notably Dream's older sister, Death.
(Grammatically, a single-sentence post until I added this parenthetical remark.)
