Emma Thompson as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing is worth a mention if you are sticking to the period drama motiff.

Science Fiction has a lot to offer aswell!

Ellen Ripley? Sarah Connor? Leela from Futurama? Red Sonja? Vasquez from Aliens? Miho from Sin City?

Miss Man from Another Teen Movie (literally)?

If you want to stay away from Sci-fi, how about these:

1) The women from 'Calendar Girls'
2) Emma Thompson as Elinor Dashwood from 'Sense and Sensibility'
3) Lisa Edelstein as Lisa Cuddy in 'House MD'
4) Ione Skye as Diane Court in 'Say Anything'

.... that's what I thought of off-hand :)
