Greatest FED woman!

[RobertScorpio]

Star Trek is mainly aimed at a male audience, we all know that. But according to what we know of Federation history, up to the point of Nemesis, who do you think was the most important woman in the fictional history of Trek. This woman doesn't have to be a government official, though could be. Who would you single out as being a piller of all that is star trek, from the female side of the house??

[Apogeal Alpha01]

Hmmmm. Mother of Spock? One of the many female Admirals such as Admiral Nechayev? I guess the obvious answer is Captain Kathryn Janeway, if for no other reason than on-screen time.

T'Pau would have been pretty important to have been offered a seat on the Federation Council. That, plus her involvement with restoring the proper government on Vulcan would have made her pretty important.

 

[Sector 7]

"That's T'Pau, the only woman to ever turn down a seat on the Federation Council."
Amanda Grayson, mother of Spock, wife of Sarek. She never held public office nor commanded a ship, yet influenced two men who changed the Federation.
Worst would be T'Pring... that b*tch was cold and calculating. Like Barbie with pointed ears.

I thought of T'pau and Admanda too..pretty bad sign that none of the modern trek shows could add to that list...sad indeed..

Eh, I don't know. I agree that ST could use more and better female characters, but the only males that spring to mind who also meet your criteria would be the captains plus Spock.

How is Amanda a pillar of trek? As I see it, she's unremarkable except for who she married. Spock was very vulcan, so I can't give her credit for giving him a unique upbringing. Even if I did, it would be reflected glory.

To answer your question, I'd go with
1. Janeway for being the first to explore the Delta Quadrant
2. The Borg queen, a very trek villian with a ton of influence
3. Seven of Nine. We had Data and the EMH there as robots (of a sort) to ask questions about the nature of humanity. Seven did it from a fresh angle.

 

[Dr_Daystrom]

How about B'lana Torres for being a half breed like Spock? Always fighting her Klingon side, dealing with her Maquis past, and being a damn good enginneer.

Or Major Kira. Dealing with her homeless, war torn childhood, her religious beliefs, and the Cardassians.

If sticking with TOS, how about Dr. Elizabeth Dehner in "From Where No Man Has Gone Before", or Number One from "The Managerie"?

T'Pau would be a big obvious one, especially given the new backstory that Enterprise provided on her. You could argue that if it weren't for her role (and others), Vulcan may have ended up a pawn of the Romulans instead of a founder of the UFP.

Similarly, T'Pol and her mother both played a role in that event.


If you include novels, President Bacco would be a major one. Also, "Admiral Uhura of Starfleet Intelligence" would be an important player as well. And of course, the first Bajoran starfleet captain, Kira Nerys.

 

[Damask]

I'd say Jadzia has a fairly large place in Federation history discovering the Bajoran wormhole and all? It wouldn't make her the greatest Federation woman ever (T'Pau sure) but it was a significant moment in history.

 

[Dr_Daystrom]

How about Admiral Nechayev (appeared in four TNG episodes and four DS9 episodes)?

 

[Red Ranger]

T'Pau, I agree with that.

How about Nora Satie? She seemed influential before her paranoid breakdown in TNG ep "The Drumhead."

She saved the Federation (see "Yesterday's Enterprise").

Guinan

She saved the Federation (see "Yesterday's Enterprise").

I am actually impressed with her, and many of the others. Not as many as i would hope, but still a pretty good group if you ask me..
