I'd second "smartest," only make it something like "best brains of the operation," so you could celebrate women who have that role in particular.

I also like character arc, and I'd love to see a focus on a woman who got a good redemption arc in particular. It seems like writers love to give a bad boy a good redemption arc (I've finally started watching TVD, and already from their actions in late season one it's become clear to me that that's what they're going for with Damon--although I admit the boy's still kind of a hard sell for me >>;;), but I see this a whole lot less with female characters in general.

I'd also suggest a "best antagonist" category; good, complex female antagonists ought to get more love than they do.

Other than that? Hmm...a "most resourceful" category could be fun...and while you're going with straight-up ability categories like "best tech" and such, I could dig categories for female magic users and superheroes, respectively. Maybe a best adventurer/explorer too? A "coolest kid" category would be neat too, what with all the Alices and Dorothies in the world.
