Care to give out any examples of female characters in a medieval fantasy setting who and why actually meet the criteria in your opinion?

Martin’s are the best/closest I’ve seen. But that doesn’t make them perfect strong female characters. I’m happy to congratulate Martin on what he’s done, as I’ve noted, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let his work skate by just because it’s better than everything else that came before, which is a pretty damn low bar, as I noted.
