Have to go to Doris Lessing for that.  Anna Wulf (The Golden Notebook) and Martha Quest (Children of Violence series).  I could never get into Margaret Drabble's books, but I tried reading them as a teenager. I need to try them again.  Note that in thinking of well-written female characters, I'm thinking of female authors.  No surprises there.
