i can't think of any within the last 50 years. Even in the 1990's and 1980's female characters in Western media were pretty much all girl bosses.

Does Tali from Mass Effect count? Even though she had that shotgun and could get in a cheeky line now and again, she was definitely a lot more submissive and soft spoken if you pursued a romance with her.
I was going to say Liara myself, though that probably would have only applied to the first.
Kinda funny, English voice of Liara is the English voice of Lightning, Japanese voice of Lightning is also Japanese voice of Aerith, who is the striking image of what I feel this topic is aiming for.
Tali is less submissive and more just a bottom.
This is significant because those words no longer fully overlap. Plenty of "girlbosses" in real life are 300% submissive when alone with them, but we'd not describe a single one of them as submissive because its clearly only sexual for them.
