She took a Sith Saber in single combat, but the Saber had zero experience fighting Jedi in lightsaber combat. Especially one that is Barabel trained. Anyway, probably a rookie Jedi Knight. Hate to say it, but Ben would easily beat her.

Didn't Alema and Leia fight and stalemate in LOTF?

Twin of the most powerful jedi in EU + wise and pure heart. She is not very skilled yet but, when Luke beat Palpatine, he wasn't master either.
It is all based on circumstances. Generally, she is an average Jedi Knight stronger than other knights but yet weaker than masters, however, if it comes to protecting Alana, she would be able to take on anybody.
Leia should be one of the most powerful Force users in the Canon. So should Jaina, given that Luke was far more powerful than Jaina was by her age. Yet she never knocked down AT-ATs.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Star Wars is sexist.
Wow, three women out of over a hundred force user characters in the mythos.
Way to prove your point there, bro.

Their are many other female characters that got important roles in the Star Wars mythos.
The ones which I pointed out are among the most powerful individuals of their era, regardless of gender. Satele Shan is specially among the TOP in the whole mythos and a Jedi Grand Master nonetheless.
And we also have Abeloth, who is female? (Correct?) She is not Jedi or Sith but she is a Force-user nonetheless. And she is even stronger then Luke.

Self-sacrifice is the greatest power of Jedi. In Lea's case it is farther empowered by love. Yes, her power would not be unlimited but neither would be enemy's.
