espresso_addict: Two of the leads (Kira Nerys & Jadzia Dax) present very different versions of strong women, and neither is defined by her romantic relationships. Nor are they expected to be chaste to be taken seriously; in fact they get more action than most of the male leads! And there are some wonderful minor female characters; in particular, Winn Adami is one of the most interesting women in televisual sf, to my mind. [Really must get myself a DS9 icon with a woman on it; both of mine are Bashir!]
If you do pick it up, S1 is a bit uneven; there are a few poor eps. It really picks up in S2 through to S6. I didn't like S7 as much, tho' others differ.
