Strong Women Characters

In Poul Anderson's Technic History, Coya Conyon is Nicholas van Rijn's granddaughter and becomes David Falkayn's wife. We see Coya contending with her grandfather before she becomes engaged to Falkayn. Tabitha Falkayn is David's and Coya's descendant but is brought up by Ythrians. Diana Crowfeather is Dominic Flandry's daughter but grows up among Tigeries. The strong women with whom Flandry has relationships merit independent treatment. The Time Patrol series presents Janne Floris and Wanda Tamberly. The latter becomes a central character in two later instalments. 

We have noticed some parallels between Poul Anderson and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman's The Sandman has more strong women characters, including a Lesbian couple and a trans-sexual before this became a big issue. Gaiman's treatment of mythology, e.g., The Kindly Ones (the Furies) matches Anderson's.
