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.
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.
