To weigh in as a female Wolfe fan for a moment, I seem to remember 
rather liking the female soldier in, is it the third or the fourth 
part of TBotNS? I forgot her name and don't have time to look it up 
now. Also, wasn't there a sympathetic female sailor in TUotNS?

Clearly, I have to read the books again...
