Yes, Angelique and Julia Hoffman were the strongest female characters in the show!
I think Julia is a strong female character, and one that commands respect, at least. Frankly, I'd give Elizabeth the honor of being the other strong female character on the show, and Judith in 1897 should get an honorable mention, as well.
Although I can see how people might enjoy the villainous Angelique -- even I get the same kind of perverse kick out of her that I got from watching J.R. Ewing and the nasty Eve -- I can't fathom why she would be particularly admired by anyone except women who cling to resentments involving ex-boyfriends, nor can I understand how the demonic obsession of a multiple-lifetime vendetta gets constantly misconstrued as "strength."
I wouldn&$039;t put her in the same class as Julia, especially in 1795.
Cheers,
