Movies

Most Female leads in Slasher Films

The Bride in Kill Bill

Elizabeth Swan in the Pirates of the Caribbean

Selene in Underworld

Yu Su Lein in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Echo - Dollhouse (After the first season when she actually she becomes a person and the mind-wiping no longer works on her. You gotta love sci-fi)

Ororo aka Storm - The X-Men

Leslie Knope - Parks and Recreation - Even though she's a little goofy, she's a very strong woman

Natalia Romanoff aka The Black Widow

Amy Pond - Doctor Who

Kate Bishop - The female Hawkeye

Not just Buffy but pretty much any female in that cast, Willow, Joyce (Buffy's mom), Faith (After she's reformed), and even Cordelia Chase becomes incredibly strong and intelligent by the time her character completely develops in seasons 3 and 4 of Angel.

Kara Thrace aka Starbuck - Battlestar Glactica (2004)

Dana Scully - The X-Files

Kaylee Frye - Firefly

Zoe Washburne - Firefly

Inara Serra - Firefly

River Tam - Firefly

Trinity - The Matrix

Sarah Jane Smith - Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures

Emma Swan - Once Upon a Time

Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White - Once Upon a Time

River Song - Dr. Who

I'm sure there's more I'm missing. Pretty much any women created by Joss Whedon or Steven Moffat is going to fit into this category. I can already tell the new companion Moffat's going to introduce to Dr. Who is going to the fit the category by the little bit we got to know her in the first episode of season 7.

Charlies Angels isn't really what you're going for...they rely on Charlie...and the name emplies that they belong to him.
