that was with connery and moore thoughever. you could argue tracy in OHMSS is the first bond girl with story and personal agency, or maybe the girl in FYEO but what really raised the bar was dalton. both his bond girls are written expertly. kara (the kgb scapegoat) has a believable romance with bond and is sorta badass, and LTK has pam (CIA tomboy waifu) that ends up saving bond who similarly to bond charms the target to gain the upper hand.

imo the best bond girl in terms of character+story agency+personality is natalya from goldeneye, she has her own character arc that feels like a sidequest in the story and not shit thats just slapped on. she's got tremendous agency and not just because she's le badass girlboss but because she has a skillset (super hacker) which makes the whole dynamic duo element of goldeneye one of its hidden strengths
