Sorry, someone was going to post this lazy and obvious joke anyways, and I thought that it might as well be me. At least I bumped the thread.

harry potter (hermione)

jane eyre (sort of, been a while since I read the book feel free to lay into me if I'm wrong)

one hundred years of solitude (the matriarch of the family, although she's probably closer to wise or matronly rather than pure intelligent)

all I got off the top of the dome. Would love some recs too been trying to give women authors more of a shot as well

Don Delillo writes intelligent females but all the characters in his books are devoid of a real personality so I don't know what you'd make of it.

I thought the women were pretty smart in the two Thomas Hardy books I've read. Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

Lemminkainen's mother in Kalevala, also probably the Lady of Pohjola.
Judith (in the book of Judith).
Rebekah in Genesis for making Jakob the chosen one with a trick.
I'd say Margaritta in M&M.

You must be really smart. Damn smart. You're so smart, and I'm so envious of you. Oh man, I wish I could be like you. Fuck fiction, am I right? Teach me your ways, wise one.
