I must admit that I didn't think Voyager was as good as TNG or DS9 at first. AT FIRST. The beginning seasons were very weak in my eyes, but it got much better later. I also liked that it had some really awesome women (B'Elanna and Seven), but the main woman in the series, Janeway, just always rubbed me the wrong way and her presence made the show a tough sell for me. Sorry, I really disliked Chakotay, too. :-/
