I gotta say, there are a number of HUGE names from pop from the 90s forward who haven't appeared in this thread yet. Quite surprising with some of them.

Couple more from Sweden. The Scandinavian countries punch way above their weight class when it comes to producing pop music.

From Canada, i really like her lyrics on this song:

Saw her a few years ago, good show. She seems to keep re-inventing herself, both her look and her sound.

 

[Hoops66]

Trio with beautiful harmonies.

Nice! I got all 3 of them individually, but not together.

The more mainstream and well-known ladies are getting most of the love here, but I'm going to go back a bit and link a few 80s ladies/groups again.
Chrissy Amphlett (R.I.P.) fronted the Divinyls and was a bit of a 'volatile' performer.
I'm not going to post their main hit and risk a time-out, so I chose something with good sound and decent video.
They recorded quite a bit of stuff that I like.

Toronto was an 80s Canadian group fronted by Holly Woods and Sheree Alton. Pretty sure they made 3 albums before disbanding.
Holly Woods had at least 1 solo album.

Jackie DeShannon with a monster of a song back in 1965, now needed more than ever before:

This is a bit of a reach...
'Streets Of Fire' was an early 80s movie, not very well known, kinda campy, but with an interesting soundtrack - a lot of it by Jim Steinman.
Some Ry Cooder, Blasters, and Dan Hartman contributions as well.
Steinman put together "Fire Inc" to do a couple of the songs.
Holly Sherwood and Laurie Sargent (Laurie was in the Boston based 'Face to Face) were the main vocals for Fire Inc and a quite young Diane Lane lip-synched and did it pretty well.
The other song by Fire Inc that closed the movie was 'Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young'

The Godmother of rock & roll—Sister Rosetta.

Rita Coolidge - was a key back up singer for major recording artists like Leon Russell and Joe Cocker, but did some fine solo work too, like this rendition of Peggy Lee's "Fever":

Sam Phillips…

Can't let go of this one....

Lita Ford and Joan Jett have both showed up here, how about this band they were in together back in the day.
