I was listening to the Inglorious Treksperts podcast dedicated to "Remembering Jeri Taylor." It's actually a really good interview with Bryan Fuller and Brannan Braga. Something that Fuller said really surprised me. He was talking about how protective Taylor could be of the female characters on Voyager. She was concerned about how they came across. However, she was particularly concerned that Roxann Dawson was coming off too aggressively, "too strident." Fuller agrees that Dawson acted with the character's strength far up front, something he thought was appropriate. On the other hand, Taylor thought that the performance would be too easily dismissed, perhaps one not, but also unlikable (as in not appropriate for a woman). Has anyone come across anything referencing this?
