Yes, and the girl’s name will be Honor Herrington.or Deja Thoris.Or Menoly (sp?)Or Friday.I DO miss Podkayne, though. I even have her in Portugese, A RAPARIGA DE MARTE
That’s funny since well over half of modern sci-fi and fantasy especially have a female protagonist. I don’t mind at all. I always loved a kick-ass girl. See Anita Blake, Mercy Thompson, Honor Harrington, et al.
Oh, certainly a woman can be the hero, as long as she wears thigh-high boots and shows a generous amount of cleavage. In lieu of that, a skin-tight cat-suit will suffice.
I’ve written 8 sci-fi novels now. Self published three. Like to find a traditional publisher someday. I usually put both sexes in my stories. Three novels feature women captains of ships. In a few of them, a woman ‘saves the day’ with her brilliance and/or toughness.

@John LustigIsn’t this a little on the tame side for someone like you?

Actually, women (not “girls”) have been heroes in science fiction all the way back to the 1950’s, especially in Heinlein’s work.

Well, the Black Widow in a leather cat suit always works for me.
