The way you write women as strong and assertive without implying masculine-coded behaviours/abilities are the only ones that can be strong is by doing exactly that.
Write a woman capable of independently affecting the outcome of her story through means that aren't stereotypically masculine. That might mean that she's a talented manipulator/persuader (a trait that is exclusive to neither gender, but stereotypically considered a feminine skill) or she's capable of outwitting opponents through skill rather than brute strength, or her resolve to remain upbeat regardless of the shit she's been through (another gender neutral trait) makes her push through adversity.
There's lots of options here.
