Always the icon of masculinity, Bruce is not exactly known for his portraits of women. But over the years his song canon has grown to include several interesting and convincing descriptions of female characters. Our question in last week's poll was which of those women is strongest. We left it up to you to define the word "strong", but that didn't keep you from voting. And while none of the candidates took off and left the rest in the dust, Janey from "Spare Parts" still achieved a fairly comfortable victory with 23.7% of the votes, with runner-up "Ma" from "The Wish" gaining 18.9%. Janey of course earned her victory by pawning a few spare items and deciding that life as a single mom was worth it after all.

Here's the final result:

Janey in "Spare Parts"     23.7%
"Ma" in "The Wish"     18.9%
"She" in "She's the One"     16.6%
Mary in "The River"     11.4%
Janey in "Incident"     8.9%
"She" in "Secret Garden     8.5%
"She" in "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"     4.4%
"She" in "From Small Things..."     3.9%
Catherine LeFevre in "Car Wash"     1.9%
Cynthia in "Cynthia"     1.0%
Ricky in "Ricky Wants a Man...."
