Lead female protagonists predating Lara Croft
trying to avoid games where there are multiple playable characters and the girls are treated as secondary to the lead male(s). if one is mentioned here, it's because a factor of the game treats the female character(s) equally or more prominently than the male(s) - featuring them in the title and/or box art, shared presence in marketing materials, making them the P1 option by default, etc.
i'm sure i've only scratched the surface. recommend me any i've missed!

how the fuck did i forget umihara oh my god -
For some more Sierra games,
Phantasmagoria 1
The Lara Bow Duology (The Colonel’s Bequest and Dagger of Amon Ra)
Pepper’s Adventure in Time
Gabriel Knight 2 (Admittedly a bit debatable but 2 elevates Grace to playable main character status with around equal playtime compared to Gabe and she does a lot of the legwork of solving the mystery of the plot.)
