A common characterization for the female character in Golden Age science fiction was as the scientist's daughter, typically a damsel-in-distress, rescued by the younger male protagonist.
Examples
- Miranda, Prospero's daughter in Shakespeare's The Tempest
- Altaira, Dr. Edward Morbius's daughter in the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet. Altaira is quite clearly modeled on Miranda.
