- I think one possibly strong woman was Leah Brahms, in "Galaxy Child" and an
- earlier show. She was the person who helped design the E's engines. She
- was a kinda no-nonsense person, who thought Geordi was way out of line in
- way he was treating her (after she learned why). I didn't like much of
- "Galaxy Child," but I liked the character of Leah Brahms.

- Granted, however, she is not a regular of the show, so go figure ;-)
