[Superphil]

Joan Jett, every time

 

[brakespear]

Can't really think of any - Belinda Butcher? Suzi Quattro played bass iirc so not her.

edit: Oh and Cristina and Ampara LLanos from Dover, just because I like 'King George' so much.

 

[Superphil]

The girls from Crucified Barbara are pretty damn good too

 

[boik]

Kristin Hersh - but maybe too understated for a lot on here!

 

[Razzoo]

Dunno if she's a great guitarist but I love Hoffs.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Joanne Shaw Taylor/Chantel McGregor .....

 

[Razzoo]

Wata from Boris

 

[Buzzer]

Wendy Melvoin or Tina Weymouth.

Yep a fan of both Poison Ivy and Kristin Hersh with their very different styles. Tanya Donnelly was pretty handy too when she was in the Throwing Muses.

On a folkier note there is Joni Mitchell
