Nynaeve is GOAT female character in this story. Siuan and Moiraine are awesome of course. Lanfear is also amazing. Aviendha is alright, too. All of those have backbone and are routinely heralded.
Only three female characters I see people decrying in general:
While Egghead is the worst, she has the best plot lines. You could pluck Elayne and Faile out of the entire series, and it wouldn’t even matter.
