I pulled the Andre Norton reference because it gives a distorted impression of her work. Whenever she possibly could, she included women and children - human and otherwise (the one time we see a Zacathan \'\'family\'\' is in the very early \'\'Star Rangers/The Last Planet\'\'). The women are often strong-willed and positively drawn,no matter now brief their appearances. And even the little girls may be crucially important to the story (e.g. Dessie in \'\'The Stars Are Ours!\'\')

As soon as she had broken the unwritten taboo against having not-EuroAmerican lead characters (in 1955, with \'\'Star Guard\'\'), she started subverting the one against female leads, finally taking that one down good and hard in 1964 (\'\'Ordeal in Otherwhere\'\').

OK, well it doesn\'t really explain that in the description. And in that case, how is it different to UniversalAdaptorCast?
