For me, strong has to include emotional fortitude. Evie Dunmore's 'Bringing Down the Duke' nails it with Annabelle. She's a bluestocking suffragist navigating class barriers, and her strength is her conviction. She argues her ideals while being painfully aware of the real-world costs, which makes her choices—and her compromises—feel powerful. That internal conflict is what sells it.

Don't sleep on Courtney Milan's 'The Duchess War' for this. The heroine, Minnie, is a master of quiet, strategic manipulation because she has to be. She's not loud or physically imposing; her strength is in her meticulous planning and her ability to hold her ground psychologically against someone with immense social power. It's a different, but incredibly potent, kind of strength.
Also, the often-overlooked 'Duke of Shadows' by Meredith Duran. Emma's resilience is born from surviving trauma and colonialism in India, and her journey back to England is about reclaiming her voice and agency in a society that sees her as broken. It's a heavier read, but the strength portrayed is raw and deeply earned, not a character trait tacked on for the plot.

It's wild how the definition of a 'strong heroine' can shift from one decade to the next in this genre. I gravitate toward ones who leverage the historical setting for their own ends, not just ones who talk back to a duke. In 'The Spymaster's Lady' by Joanna Bourne, Annique's strength is her cunning and survival instinct. She's an actual spy, using her intelligence and deception as weapons, which feels so much more grounded and tense than a lot of the anachronistic 'modern woman in a corset' types.
Cat Sebastian does this brilliantly too in 'A Duke in Disguise'. Verity's strength is in her quiet, stubborn integrity and her work as a printer—she's literally fighting with words. That kind of non-traditional, intellectual resilience always hooks me more than physical prowess. Honestly, some of the more recent releases with sword-wielding countesses feel a bit like fantasy cosplay, fun as they are. For me, true strength in a historical context is often about wielding influence from a position of societal weakness.

A great source for finding these is to look at lists for 'historical romance with neurodiverse heroines' or 'historical romance with disabled heroines'. The strength portrayed in those stories is often deeply rooted in navigating a world not built for you, which requires a unique and powerful kind of resilience. Authors like Mimi Matthews or Meredith Duran often explore this.
